A while back Ryan Opaz wrote an article on this site introducing tapas tours of Madrid. Well, since that time this has developed into a business, called Sabores Tours, with which I will be collaborating with closely over the coming months. Another member of the team at Sabores Tours is Janelle who has been living in Madrid since 2000 and has extensive knowledge of the culture, history and food of the city. Together they offer clients tours of some of their favourite secret’ Madrid bars, where their small groups can indulge in Spanish food and good wine. Here’s what you can expect from one of Janelle and Ryan’s tours:
Spend an evening with a small group strolling along the historic streets of Madrid with a knowledgeable guide while tasting Spanish wines and Spain’s culinary treasures. Visiting a city is more enjoyable and relaxing when you have a friend to show you around. That was the motivation behind creating SaboresTours, to offer travellers the opportunity to go where the locals go, eat what they eat and to have fun while learning something in the process. "Sabores" means flavour, taste. That is what we want you to experience on our tours. The flavors of the wine, the cuisine and the cultures present in Spain.
