Gay Madrid & the Chueca District

We visit four of Chueca's best neighborhood bars to taste a variety of tapas & soak up its fascinating atmosphere. Each bar is unique so get ready to see a variety from the oldest in the district (105 years) to my secret modern bar that is so hidden that I know you have never been there before! Arrive hungry, we will have at least 8 Tapas, including many classics like: Spanish Omelet, Croquettes, Patatas Bravas, cheese, vegetarian options, & also some surprises that I promise that you never tried before. We are also going to do some drink and Tapa pairings. Whilst bar hopping, we'll tell you tales from Chueca's history, the origins of its LGBTQ past and present and let you into some of its hidden secrets! We even visit the first gay bar in Madrid. Do this early on your trip to Madrid becuase I will share many tips on how to work a Tapas bar, to get better value for money, some do's and don't's, and how to identify good Tapas bars, how to order, and finally the best bit... how to eat

Such a fun time with Paul and Juan with a very down to earth vibe. Delicious tortillas and much needed information on the etiquette for tapaseating! Showing another cultural site of madrid, and they were eagger to share more local recommendations, which was awesome. The small group dynamics made it easier to include everybody and the hosts were attentive as well to include us all.

Gay Tapas!

Excellent tour, and Paul is an excellent knowledgeable guide, and happens to be very funny too! The vermouth was surprisingly good, and we enjoyed the tapas at Taberna La Buja, especially the tortilla Espanola!

Loved it! Small group and Paul took us to fun places in the neighborhood, and provided good background context without lecturing. It was great for our first day in Madrid to get the lay of the land and learn a bit more about tapas culture.

Fantastic food tour with interesting history and a “secret” bar!

Paul is a great guide! He shared history along with hidden gems we would have never found on our own. Especially enjoyed the small group size and the attention to each participant - including ensuring everyone had plenty to eat and drink. Definitely recommended!

Had such a great time on this tapas tour! Paul and Juan were fantastic hosts and made everyone feel welcome from the start. The food was delicious, and it was a fun way to explore Madrid and meet new people. Would definitely recommend booking a tour with them!
