Eating tapas are a tradition in Spain, in fact, large Spanish cities like Madrid and Barcelona are known for culinary tourism. People like to visit Spain to enjoy all of the culinary possibilities, which, more often than not, involve walks of Madrid tapas tours. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/blog\/3-days-in-madrid-what-to-do-and-see\/\">Spending just 3 days in Madrid <\/a>gives plenty of time to check out all of the barrios (neighbourhoods) that Madrid has to offer. <strong>What\u2019s great about central Madrid is that tourists can find food almost everywhere!<\/strong> Let\u2019s take a look at what one of the most historically famous neighbourhoods of Madrid has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19352\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/bar-tapas.jpg\" alt=\"Bar tapas\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Barrio de las Letras<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Conveniently <strong>located near <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/blog\/getting-to-madrid-airport-from-atocha-station\/\">Atocha train station<\/a> and Anton Martin metro stations<\/strong>, this &#8220;Barrio&#8221; has many family friendly tapas options to sift through. Consider Tapas Bar La Dolores, Cervantes, or Parilla &#8220;El Barril&#8221; and Lope de Vega for something a little different. This is Madrid worth visiting, this is Letras. Another quite amazing thing about the neighbourhood is that it is conveniently located close to some of Madrid\u2019s best Catalonia-based hotels including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/hotel\/catalonia-las-cortes\">Catalonia Las Cortes<\/a> hotel and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/hotel\/catalonia-atocha\">Catalonia Atocha<\/a> hotel \u2013 two exceptional hotels with ratings above the 4-star categorization!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lavapies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19353\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/lavapies.jpg\" alt=\"Lavapies\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This convenient little neighbourhood is situated south of the above-mentioned district. <strong>It has lots of great things to do including<\/strong> <strong>many great theatres<\/strong>. These theatres are great for seeing some of the fabulous operas and plays that Spain\u2019s culture is known for exhibiting. <strong>Tapas Bar El Boqueron, La Playa de Lavapies, Los Chuchis, and Caf\u00e9 Barbieri <\/strong>are all fantastic locations worth visiting, in a slightly less busy or touristy locale. Just north of the neighbourhood is where you can find many a more gorgeous hotels and mainstays. Just around the corner of the historical Sol metro station and Puerta de Sol plaza, you can find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/hotel\/catalonia-gran-via-madrid\">Catalonia Gran V\u00eda Madrid<\/a> hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">La Latina district<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This district, while a little further west from accommodation near center, or central Madrid, has many <strong>great tapas restaurants, cafes, and bars<\/strong> to explore that are all within walking distance from one another. Conveniently located just west of La Latina metro station, one can find great spots like <strong>MajareTa, Erre Que Erre, Casa Curro, and Sidreria Casa Antonio<\/strong>, \u00a1just to name a few!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food markets in Madrid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19354\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/mercado-san-miguel.jpg\" alt=\"san miguel market\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than San Miguel Market, which is located near the center, or centro Madrid, you can find g<strong>rocery stores that can offer anything your heart desires<\/strong> should you want to make some grub, or just buy some mainstays. They are: <strong>Mercado de Barcelo, Mercado de San Anton, or Mercado de San Fernando<\/strong>.<br \/><br \/>The family friendly San Miguel market is a<strong> typical Spanish-style closed roof market<\/strong> that has countless shops of all variety inside. You can find <strong>fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and pork<\/strong>, and many other items you might never thought were a part of Spanish culinary culture and diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The perfect accomodation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout Madrid&#8217;s central corridor is where all the magical tapas tours begin. <strong>Staying in the centre means your familly can stay in some of the best Catalonia Hotels &amp; Resorts<\/strong>, as mentioned earlier. Some of these hotels have the most reputable amenities, on-site bars and restaurants, saunas, pools, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tapas taverns and history tour Madrid The definitive foodie tour of Madrid involves, to some extent, a tapas tour Madrid.
