Meeting Point

Old Café Fornos (Alcalá, 21)

PATATAS BRAVAS RACION & VERMOUTH DE GRIFO

Spicy as they should be in the same place where Hemingway used to order them along our "sweet wine" for aperitivo now back again as modern/trendy.

PINCHO TORTILLA CLÁSICA & RACIÓN CROQUETAS (4 TASTINGS)

This is not Mexican tortilla, this is SPANISH tortilla. The legendary one and only. Tortilla classic: runny or not?. With onion or not? the big Spanish debate....or maybe Tortilla avant garde with goat cheese?. Plus ración de croquetas with 4 tastings: jamón, grannys stew, pork cheek and squid.

RIOJA vs RIBERA

Taste the two rival regions for the supremacy of Spanish red wine. You choose.

FINO TIO PEPE & GILDA

What a Hollywood-worthy combo: sherry wine from Andalusia — made internationally famous in part thanks to the pirate Drake — and a gilda, the iconic tapa (or pintxo) considered the origin of Basque pintxos. A truly Hollywood-style name and fame.

BOCADILLO CALAMARES & CAÑA

De Madrid al Cielo "From Madrid to heaven" we say. This "calamary sandwich" dish is our traditional in Plaza Mayor made by gatos for their gatas. I will explain why!

OP.1. RABO DE TORO

Braves bull tail stew. Will come along detailed and emotional explanation where bullfighting comes from and how has survived in time insipiring all sorts of arts.

OP.2. SOUL OF ARCHICHOKES & TXAKOLI

I promise if you ever tasted better archichokes than this ones this tour comes for free. The delight in combination with a fresh white Txakoli from Basque Country....oh God.

OP.3. CALLOS A LA MADRILEÑA

Lets go "castizo" from "good cast" from "good origin". Thats the Madrileño swager and we eat callos, that is cows intestines and they are spicy and delious. Only for the brave!
