Madrid's La Latina Tapas Crawl
Sunday afternoon at Cava Baja means standing-room bars, gildas on toothpicks, and cañas pulled in quick succession.

Eight days of late dinners, tiled patios, and the metallic tang of vermouth on tap. Spain runs on its own clock, and once you sync to it, the country opens up.

About this Spain trip
Spain doesn't reward early risers. Lunch happens at 2, dinner at 10, and the best conversations start somewhere around midnight on a plaza you didn't plan to find. Eight days gives you enough room to hit two or three cities without sprinting, and the AVE high-speed train makes the math work: Madrid to Seville in 2.5 hours, Madrid to Barcelona in under three. Build the trip around long meals and longer evenings, and the country reveals itself between courses.
Start in Madrid for the museums (Prado, Reina Sofía, Thyssen) and the tapas density of La Latina and Lavapiés. From there, swing south to Seville and Granada for Andalusian heat, Mudéjar tilework, and flamenco that actually means something. Or head northeast to Barcelona for Gaudí, the seafood at La Boqueria, and the bar scene in El Born and Gràcia. Adventurous eaters should carve out two nights for San Sebastián, where pintxos bars line the Parte Vieja and the txuleta steaks at Casa Urola justify the detour.
Each region cooks differently. Castilla means roast lamb and cocido madrileño. Andalusia leans on gazpacho, jamón ibérico, and fried fish. Catalonia pulls from the sea (suquet, fideuà) and the mountains (botifarra, escalivada). Order the house vermouth before lunch. It's a ritual, not a drink.
For mid-range lodging, look at boutique hotels in central neighborhoods: Barrio de las Letras in Madrid, Born in Barcelona, Santa Cruz in Seville. Shoulder seasons (April-May, September-October) deliver the best weather without August's furnace heat or shuttered restaurants. Reserve the Alhambra and Sagrada Família weeks ahead. Everything else, you can figure out over a glass of wine.
