About Madrid
A vibrant city with a multitude of personalities from the luxe shops lining the Grand Via to the multicultural restaurants, food halls, and tavernas of Lavapiés. With a vast central park, a historic quarter, famous museums and plazas, and of course, some of Spain’s top restaurants, you could easily spend a week in Madrid. Madrid is also the heart, or kilometer-zero of Spain.
Wander through Madrid’s historic quarter indulging in tapas while learning about the city’s history, immerse yourself in the fine arts with a private guide at the Prado Museum, or take a private cooking class learning to prepare classic Spanish dishes and the wines they pair with best.
Maximize your stay in Madrid and take a day-trip to Toledo, Segovia, and a plethora of vineyards, all within a two-hour’s drive. Spend a day walking through the vines, learning about local varietals such as Garnacha and Malvar in D.O. Madrid, or head north to D.O. Ribera del Duero, land of native varietals Tinto Fino and Albillo Mayor and to D.O. Rueda tasting refreshing Verdejo, Spain’s «Sauvignon Blanc». Vámonos!
