This book provides an authentic, joyous, indulgent journey through the best places for tasting tapas in Madrid, guiding you through fun and interesting tapas routes, long-established markets, where to find dishes for vegetarians and vegans as well as the tradition of free tapas. Also included in this book are recipes from contemporary Spanish chefs.
This guide is equally for those who love tapas and those who will love it once they've experienced the best examples of this uniquely Spanish pastime.
