At a quaint shop run by an enthusiastic young baker from northern Spain, discover why quality bread in Madrid is a rarity and savor their delectable homemade chorizo-stuffed rolls, which are an exception to the rule.

You’ll also enjoy Spain’s beloved aperitif, red vermouth, and learn about its significance and ideal occasions for drinking it.
• Casa González - After your market tastings, visit a modest neighborhood deli with a fascinating history. This was the site where the owner’s father held secret meetings to oppose Spain’s new dictatorship in the 1930s. Today, it’s where you’ll enjoy a mini tasting of Spanish cheeses paired with two wines. As you indulge, uncover the origins of each product and gain insider tips for ordering wine in Spain.
• Bar La Campana - Around Plaza Mayor, the must-try delicacy is a calamari sandwich. While available throughout the area, today you’ll savor the best version, featuring calamari rings perfectly cooked in a light, crispy batter. Relish it while standing outside the bar, just like the locals.
• El Riojano - Conclude your Madrid morning food tour on a sweet note at a pastry shop that has thrived since 1855. Founded by the Spanish queen’s personal pastry chef, this remarkable spot is a hidden gem.
