    Literary Quarter (Barrio de Las Letras)

    Bar 1 : We start our gastronomic journey with a tiny bar for a quick pit-stop to try famous wild strawberry Madrid liquor. It feels like sipping Madrid itself and we do not anyone who would not like it. Obligatory to try. Beer and soft drinks (one per bar) are also included should you prefer this to wine! Here we will try delicious anchovies. And of course you will enjoy a lot the atmosphere of this old-fashioned bar.

    Literary Quarter (Barrio de Las Letras)

    Bar 2 : Down the streets, through the heart of the Literature Quarter, once home to many famous writers. Our next stop will be an Asturian bar, it's a real treasure where we will taste Spanish cider, made by an unique technology without sugar. Also here highly recommended to try white wine from Galicia (region in the north part of Spain) those wines feel like trying a salty-flower liquid gold with a smell of Atlantic ocean, because wineries are located just in front and they perfectly pair with some fried tapas. For example eggplant with honey, famous octopus, croquettes with cuttlefish ink and strong cheese with cider touch.
