The wife and I followed this tapas crawl while vacationing in Madrid a few years back. I must say it was one of the best trips we've ever been on. Thank you so much for this video!
My pleasure David! Hopefully we can get back to tapas crawling ASAP
Thanks for making me homesick...although my home i in the US, I lived 5 1/2 years in Spain and miss it every single day.
Spain was the first place that I had a home of my own, my son was born there and the love of my life as well.
Not a day goes by that some memory pops into my head and makes me yearn to live there again.....all I can say is, "C'mon lotto!"
Mi cuerpo estas aqui, pero mi corazon estan en España.
Thanks for the memories of tapas hopping also.....me gusta cazon en adobo muchisimas!
P.S.
I never met a tapa I didn't like.
;p
Great video! There's a reason that I keep coming back to Madrid. I've been, 8 times. I won't stop coming until I've visited every bar in the city.
mistreated Cheers! And good luck on your mission ;)
Awesome video! It's so great that you not only know the good spots but you are friends with all of the restaurant workers. I have always wanted to be this friendly 😎. Keeps doin what you doin. Super inspiring. Cheers!
Excellent thanks guys👍
Love from a beach in SE Asia ❤️🙏
Flying to Madrid in 8 hours. Watching for recommendations! Great vid! Thanks!
You sir are my hero for stopping those girls from getting into McDonald's
Haha, cheers man. Hopefully they didn't order any food :P
Luke Darracott Knowing us Millennials, they probably did, though kudos on your videos, planning a Madrid trip next year, your lists will come in help, Cheers!
I do not understand ,why people go to these burger places. When they have such wonderful tapas bars. I live in Mallorca,you would not see me in MC ds or burger king, when I have such a variety of beautiful taps bars.
If you did a series around the whole of Spain or even the world id watch, its like hanging out with you guys. Saludos desde California.
Thanks man! Stay tuned for another video coming up this month!
Luke! i've been to Madrid last week. Followed your guide, and loved it! Thank you my man!
antoniskolias Ah great!! I'm so glad you had fun!!
Superb, Luke! If anyone is ever in Madrid...may this man be your guide. Seek him out!
+Jack S Thanks Jack! I will gladly take on that role for whomever!
Se han puesto como el tio kiko!!! Jejeje
Such an enjoyable video. What a great Tapas crawl and very delicious looking too. I'm totally starving right now!
Dan Lisk Cheers Dan, salud!
Hey Luke! Thanks for the suggestions. My wife and I had a great time following your recommendations. We even met your friend Joy along the way! Keep the videos coming.
Daniel Stacy She mentioned haha! I'm glad you guys had fun! Did you manage all ten? ;)

Eric Escorcia Thanks! Great news; come eat as much as you can!
Awesome, thanks! I'll check these places!
Thanks so much from Montreal!
Jack Commins Thank you Jack!
I miss Madrid!! My favorite tapas place was definitely El Tigre, solely for how stinking cheap it was
Super video thank u! Spain rocks❤
twinkletoes800 Thanks! And yes it does!
I love el Meson del Champiñon. been there 3 times 1977, 1982, 2018.
Jose Canisales Awesome!! And I bet if hasn’t changed that much either ;)
thanks for this great video...am trying this out for sure!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Happy munching!
I really enjoyed your video. I'm from Alicante, but currently I'm doing an exchange in Breslavia. I can't stop watching videos of my lovely tapas, and this is a really interesting one. Congrats and I look forward for more :)
Javier Sánchez Thanks man! Check out my other video Madrid in 7 Drinks :D Love Alicante!
Well, now I know what I'm doing next time I'm in Madrid. Incidentally, I got the same urge to yell "don't go in there" to a couple I saw entering a Dominoes Pizza in Barcelona, but you're the boss for actually doing it. Cheers!
The Unknown Winecaster When you're here let me know. I shall provide Tapas and 🍷🍷🍷
Great video man. Hope to see more. Salud from Argentina
Cheers man! Hope to make more. Just looking for the right ingredients ;)
this video is so great!!!!
Thanks so much!
Las tapas son mi pasion recien descubierta. Espero volver a España pronto!
Ok, I'm hungry now..... some good looking tapas....hello from Washington DC
Haha, thanks man! Hello back from Madrid! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Qué bien escogidos los locales. San Ginés el mejor !❤❤❤❤❤
Sonia Oronoz Gracias Sonia! Viva el churro!
The Gastro Traveler Siiiiiiiii !! Y la porra !!❤❤❤❤
I strongly recommend the tapas bars of Retiro area, you will enjoy delicious tapas and in beautiful places
Nickkylauda Yeeees! That’s a great area, though I don’t know it so well. One of my friends has already videoed it so I thought I wouldn’t step on his toes. But, maybe I will ;)
Tapas crawls are the most amazing thing about Spain, you can't do them elsewhere as you do them in Spain. Nice video.
Amen!
Buenas recomendaciones.
Eyesofthenile Gracias! :)
Qué buen paladar
American here and Spain (IMO) has the best food of anywhere. But the one time I tried McDs overseas it was in Palmanova and the burger was the best I ever had. Totally different and much better quality
Buen vídeo!
Thanks so much Alejandro!
What a ride! It totally simulates the tapas bar experience! Reminds me of when my brother and I had that blue cheese spread and its flavor nearly killed my brother. Would love to see more! Salud mi amigo!
Thank you kind wine-loving sir! Hopefully will make some more videos soon. Takes a lot of time and money when you're by yourself. Hope we are doing your questions justice on our Spanish Wine Experience podcast!
Of course! I'm much obliged for your answers and attention! I always have a blast listening to the show, amazing how you can learn something from it considering how entertaining it is. I've received such golden advice as "Treat wine like you would treat milk;" this is of course why I now enjoy a bowl of Captain Crunch and Toro Gran Reserva every morning.
When I started watching this video. I was loving it. And started thinking about doing Madrid for Spring vacation. Until 05:35 when he said "A lot of bars shut at midnight" I was just went into shock. I mean...what kind of city does not have 24 hours bars!!!
bambang303378 I’m talking about tapas bars. Aka restaurants. I don’t think many places in the world have 24 hour eateries. You should come to Madrid! It’s the best!
You could tell they were either buzzed or hammered while getting to the churro place. I wish I could do this in Madrid too. But I'd probably get stuck all night at the mushroom place.
Fred Fonacier Haha! It was a bit of a mix of both actually. There was QUITE a lot of booze!
Fellas! Brilliant. I'm in the UK but a big fan of Spanish food. I have to say you nailed it - I'd love to do a tapas crawl. I'm thinking of a boys trip to Madrid, Barcelona or any city in Spain...call it my Mid-life crisis trip:-)
Good Job lads
Tony
p.s I loved the garlic prawns...wot no jamon?
Thanks Tony! It's a great trip to do! If you want tapas tips, you know who to call :)
Yep, I think I saw Mr. Blick in there...
Love your magdo thingy saying 😀
nice video😃
Thanks!!
Amazing video Luke! How much do you usually tip for these drinks and tapas? Thanks!
Thanks man! Means a lot. Tipping either a little or nothing. If you're just paying for a quick beer or wine and a tiny nibble you don't really need to tip. But let's say our bill came to 9.50 euros, we'd leave the 50 cents. It's often maximum 10% for 'dinners', a bit like England, but not a rule. We either leave a few rubles so to speak, or nothing if it's quick.
Lol @ 5:43. I must admit that was my back up plan if I failed to know where to go to eat in Madrid. But thank you for the video. Very informative. Will be visiting in March.Is this like a 9 stop tapa night tour?
Fitu Laki Thanks for the kind words man. The video was merely to show ten stops of madrid and the tapas method. Nothing official. Any questions before you arrive in March feel free to send me a message!
Awesome. Are these all within decent walking distances of each other?
Fitz Of course. We did it one night!
As a Basque I would skip the tapas and just do a pub crawl..lol
Are the tapas “free” after you paid your drinks ? Or you got to pay for them ?
Alright, you have to tell me how you accomplished this. My boyfriend and I have tried it like 3 or 4 times so far and have to tap out at 5 stops, either because we're drunk, full, or couldnt manage to get to every stop before they closed. We've successfully stopped at every location, but on different occasions. What's your secret?!
Also, thank you, these places are great. I found my favorite tortilla Madrid, and we ended up being filmed while eating champiñons for an American TV show.
Megan M Haha! You have to come back and try again. It was a mixture of knowing what to order and quickly, and also being both a drunk with high tolerance and a complete glutton ;)
JB was there!
How did you feel the next day.???
🇪🇸✌️🇪🇸✌️🇪🇸🇪🇸✌️🇪🇸
Hi luke, I am planing to go to Madrid in August and your video is a great idea to get around Madrid and at the same time experience the Tappas. But I have a few questions for you
1- How did you came up to these 10 places? Are they close to the best of the best or for location?
2- I notice on Casa Toni that the person seems like he was closing already? or why did you say that 1 only, or something similar and then he agreed
3-Approximately how long it took you the tour to the 10 places?
4-Do you advice to take UBER from Cerveriz Bar to Casa del Abuelo? it seems a long walk.
5 and last, What time do you recommend to start the tour? We want to make sure we don't get anything already close or avoid crowd since we are going to replicate your tour on Saturday night on August.
Thank you for your advise!
Hey! Thanks for the questions!
1. These are bars I've come to love through my years living here and giving food tours. They're all in the centre.
2. Casa Toni was basically closing but because I've been a loyal, often tipsy, customer for years they let us in for a cheeky tipple.
3. We smashed it fairly hard and did it four hours I think... We were going quickish though.
4. No UBER needed, the original Casa del Abuelo is on Calle Victoria next to Sol!
5. I can't really remember exactly what time we started, but I remember thinking we should have started a tad earlier. I'd recommend starting at 8/8:30!
Good luck soldier, prepare your stomachs and livers :)
Salud!
Thank you for your fast reply! Any recommendations for wine testing? I think I saw you on Kara and Nate channel video giving a wine testing. But if it wasn't you, a place you recommend?
oh sorry to bother you again...what about ham? I know Madrid is famous for Hams!! where to go?
Hey yeah. I do private wine tastings and also wine and tapas tours with a company called Devour Spain. And for ham, well a favourite place is one of the stops in their video: Mercado de Jamón Ibérico! :)
oh great! can you give me the website or how can I get info about prices?
Can you made a list or link ? Thank you!
MrEdtom1 Hey. The bars are all listed there in the description 👍🏻
How long will it take to go thru all 10? From walking to eating? 4 hours?
MrEdtom1 Yup. It was almost a perfect 4 hour food crawl :)
Thanks ! You are awesome! Will be there in December!
Did i spy James Blick in the second bar.
Steve Wilson Someone has to show him the proper places after all ;)
Are there any tapas crawl videos without James Blick in them??? 😅
how much money was the total?
Son of Man Bout 25€ for food, drinks as extra 👍🏻
For the mushroom part. Did you order racion or was it tapas with your drink ?
Juneied Almasri Hey! It was a ración I ordered. About 6€
Is there a big difference between a half racion and a tapas.
Richard Upton Hey Richard! Sometimes it can be yeah. So in Madrid, technically your tapa will be little freebies like olives or crisps. In Seville or Barcelona for example you are essentially paying for the smaller portion. So, for example, a tapa of calamari might be a couple of euros and a couple of rings. The media (1/2) ración might be double that. And a full ración might be a rather large plate double the size of the ración. Enough to share around a couple of people. Hope this helps!
yeh thanks, i think ill go to some tapas bars ins eville when i go, its something i always wanted to do but havent done yet.
Great video, you speak really good Spanish too. Have you lived in Madrid long?
Hey! Thanks very much. Yeah, I've been here for 7 years. I fell in love with Madrid and couldn't leave!
madrid is the best city
I couldn't agree more ;)
Hello guys, i would like to know about the prices of tapas in Madrid, thanks
Ashley Vargas Hi Ashley. Anything specific you want to know? Or the prices of tapas in the video? I
Think a commenter further down asked about prices 👍🏻
I want to know the price of the mushrooms they look great and thanks for you quick answer
Ashley Vargas They're about 6€ a plate :)
great thanks :) saludos de Costa Rica
Do you do food tours ? Enjoyed the video !
Thanks so much Fran! I do indeed yes. Feel free to email me at www.lukedarracott.com for more info if you're ever coming to Madrid!
Thank you I will ! I thought that was you I recognized you on Kara and Nates' recent vlog. I enjoyed your video and would subscribe if you had a You Tube channel.
You're on my RUclips channel :P Though I don't post anywhere near as regularly as I'd like! Let me know when you're Madrid bound!
How did you learn spanish? I'm really looking to get learning
McIn t Hey! I learned it at school and university. And I live here so that helps ;)
I came to Madrid last year and love the place. If i could get a job i'd be over in a heartbeat but reckon i'd need a degree before i'd even have half a chance as a non spanish speaking person.
Luke Darracott what do you work as in Madrid?
how much was spent on this 10 stop tour?
+andres garcia Hey there! I think it was around 90€ spent for the two of us. So, 45€ each!
+Luke Darracott you should go to places where the tapa is included with your drink it makes 20stops quick easy and cheap
Hey Dani! Thanks for commenting. I could have done that, but the idea was to also highlight specific foods at specific restaurants not just to do it cheap. But I agree. Maybe I should do a 'free tapas' version :)
At 1:12 "It's full" -- yeah, right. "It's abandoned."
tromboneJTS As in full of our friends...
yo soy tu padre haha , very good thanks
Where are these locations for example la Latina
Juneied Almasri Hey! The first couple are in La Latina and then I move up towards the centre around Plaza Mayor and Sol. I've left the names of the bars in the description if you want to google them :)
Luke Darracott fashoo bro thanks. I'm moving to Madrid next week from San Francisco California and need some tapas bars. How are the prices over there as well ?
Juneied Almasri Ah great. You'll love it! The prices are comically cheap. Glasses of wine range from 2-4€ in general.
Luke Darracott what about beer or canyas and do they really give free food with every drink you order ?
Juneied Almasri Cañas range from 1-3€ euros depending on the bar and size they give you. Tapas are almost always free and, again depending on the bar, that can usually mean olives, crisps, peanuts and things. Or sometimes plates of potatoes, fried chicken wings etc. Still some bars might not give you anything. It's a big mix here.
Blusa tejida crochet
Que rico to,
Fernando Jimenez Sanchez Suuuuuper rico
Que les dices a las chicas que entran en el McDonald jejeje
Que no entrad allí! 'Don't go in there!' Haha
has acabao to mamao jsjsjsjs
Alfaya A.C.A.B Exacto!
jaja que crack
Mc Donalds is in every corner of the world. Their stores upset the natural historic scenery but, what the heck, you can't hold back modernity. Too many of these type of fast-food places will destroy the charm of a city. This is the mistake of the local governments, they should not allow these establishment in their historic areas. Who wants to travel around the world only find a McDonalds or Starbucks on the corner. The whole idea of travel is to escape all this. You feel ripped off and think, Gee I traveled 5600 miles only to see the same fast-food establishments that I have at home. Well, what the hell , I should have just stayed home. In fact, there are cities across the world that I will never return to because they've modernized their historic areas to the point where they are not worth visiting. I saw this starting to happen in Paris and it was heart-rending. What is Macron thinking ? Tourism is already dropping off in this city, why make it worse? And Macron has got to get his city to the point where it's safe. Tourist don't want to stroll the streets next to armed soldiers sporting high-speed sub-machine guns. When I entered a major department store in the heart of Paris, a security guard made me empty my pockets then waved a metal detector over my body before I could enter the damn store. Macron has got to whip the criminal/terrorist element into line or people will forego Paris and visit other cities. I don't want to diss Macron, but I have to tell it like it is.
Matthew Jackson Amen brother!
1:18 there’s James Blick of @spainrevealed! I’m a big fan of his videos!
