Madrid is a city made to be tasted — and this tour moves through it the way locals wish every visitor would: on two wheels, with good company, and an appetite.
It starts at Chocolatería 1902, where warm churros arrive alongside thick drinking chocolate, a ritual the city has kept for over a century.
From there, your guide leads you by e-bike through the historic center: Puerta del Sol, where a stone marker declares itself the origin of every road in Spain; the 17th-century Plaza Mayor; the Gran Vía with its gold-domed Metropolis Building; and the Cibeles Fountain. The pace softens at Retiro Park, where paths lead to a soaring 1887 iron-and-glass pavilion.
The tour ends with a tasting of three grades of cured ham and four artisan cheeses paired with Spanish wine. Upgrade, and a maestro cortador carves acorn-fed Ibérico at your table, each translucent slice drawn with the precision Spaniards compare to playing a violin.

What to expect
35m
Your guide welcomes you at one of Madrid's original pastry houses, where warm churros arrive alongside thick drinking chocolate blended from South American cacao. Here, you'll step into the working kitchen to see how a fifth-generation maestro churrero crafts these beloved pastries to achieve the perfect texture and taste.
Puerta del Sol
20m
Here, you’ll see the small stone marker embedded in the pavement. Your guide explains it’s Kilometer Zero, the point from which every road in Spain is measured. Nearby, the bronze Oso y el Madroño, the bear and strawberry tree that has symbolized Madrid since the Middle Ages, makes for the city’s most beloved landmark.
Plaza Mayor
15m
This vast 17th-century square, enclosed by terracotta facades and arcaded walkways, was once the stage for royal coronations, bullfights, and public trials. Your guide traces the stories still held in its stones.
Gran Via
15m
Madrid's grandest boulevard opens before you as your guide points out the Metropolis Building, its gold dome crowned by a bronze winged Victory poised above the avenue's sweep.
Plaza de Cibeles
15m
Cycle past one of Madrid's most stately intersections, anchored by the white marble Cibeles Fountain and flanked by the ornate Linares Palace. It's also, as any Madridista will tell you, where the city floods into the streets whenever Real Madrid wins a title.
Parque del Retiro
1h
The landscape shifts as you glide into Madrid's 350-acre park, following tree-lined paths past the lake and gardens to the Palacio de Cristal, a soaring iron-and-glass pavilion built in 1887.
Extrem Puro Extremadura

Enjoy a guided tasting of three grades of cured ham and four artisan cheeses, paired with Spanish wine. If you upgrade, a maestro cortador carves a full leg of acorn-fed Ibérico tableside, an art form in itself.
