In Madrid for a Rock Concert? Here’s What Else You Shouldn’t Miss

Coming to Madrid for a gig? Whether you’re here for a legendary band, a rising star, or a festival night you’ll never forget — you’ve already made a great choice. Madrid lives and breathes music. But between the sound checks and encores, there’s another side of the city that deserves your attention: the food.

Taste the City Between Sets

Music isn’t the only thing that moves people here. From late-night tapas bars to classic neighbourhood taverns, food and drink are part of the rhythm of Madrid. It's casual, vibrant and full of stories — just like the best live shows.

What to Try

  • Boquerones en vinagre – fresh white anchovies cured in vinegar, served chilled.

  • Mejillones en escabeche – mussels in smoky, vinegary marinade.

  • Tortilla de patatas – egg, potato, and magic. Soft-centred and perfect with a cold beer.

  • Vermouth on tap – the local drink of choice before the show starts.

Go Beyond the Obvious

If you want more than a snack before the doors open, join a food tour that hits the right notes. At Flavours of Madrid, we take you to the real places — no tourist traps — to taste over 12 exceptional bites and get a feel for the city’s flavour, past and present.
