Solo Travel in Madrid: Why a Food Tour Is the Perfect Way to Connect
Travelling to Madrid solo? Whether it’s your first solo trip or your tenth, the Spanish capital is a fantastic destination for independent travellers. It's walkable, vibrant, safe, and packed with flavour — quite literally.
If you’re looking for things to do in Madrid as a solo traveller, one of the best ways to experience the city is through its food. And not just by sitting alone at a restaurant — but by joining a small-group food tour in Madrid, designed to be authentic, delicious, and social.
🥘 Why a food tour is perfect for solo travellers
Solo travel can be incredibly rewarding, but it also comes with moments when you just want to share an experience, talk to someone new, or avoid sitting at a table for one. That’s exactly where a food tour comes in.
At Flavours of Madrid, we design each tour to feel more like an afternoon with friends than a guided activity. You’ll discover amazing food, learn about local culture, and meet people from around the world — all while exploring neighbourhoods that most visitors never get to know.
👥 Small groups, big connections
Forget crowded tours. We keep things personal and relaxed, with a maximum of 7 people per group. This makes it easy to chat, ask questions, and actually connect with others — without feeling like you're tagging along.
Whether you’re an introvert, a curious traveller, or just someone who enjoys good conversation, you’ll feel welcome.
🧭 Discover Madrid beyond the tourist traps
Many solo travellers in Madrid stick to the centre — and miss out on the most authentic parts of the city. Our tours take you to local neighbourhoods, family-run spots, and even markets that are disappearing from the tourist radar.
You’ll taste everything from timeless classics to modern favourites, with stories and context that make each bite even better.

📸 Come solo, leave with memories
You won’t just eat — you’ll learn, laugh, and leave with a deeper understanding of Madrid’s food culture. And since you’re part of a small group, it’s easy to ask for that photo, chat with your guide, or just soak it all in at your own pace.
