If Richard Ayoade and Ellie Taylor’s weekend in Madrid on Travel Man made you want to see the city for yourself, this bookable three-day itinerary is built to get you there. It pairs a guided tour of the Prado with a wine-and-tapas tour, a hotel base at the Four Seasons, and a free day to follow your appetite. The link below opens the full trip, where you can change, edit, or lengthen any part of it.

Art at the Prado

Madrid is Spain’s capital, a city of wide boulevards and late dinners where the art is as much a part of daily life as the food. The Prado is the place to begin. On the guided tour, an expert leads you through the galleries of Spanish masters such as Velázquez and Goya, so you understand what you are looking at instead of wandering past it. Your base for the trip is Four Seasons Hotel Madrid, which gives you a comfortable place to return to after a day of walking.

Ham, Tapas, and the Duck Church

Madrid eats well, and the wine-and-tapas tour is the easiest way to taste it. You move from bar to bar with a guide, sampling small plates and local wine, so lunch turns into a tour of the city. Cinco Jotas Jorge Juan is on the itinerary’s list of places to visit, and it is the stop for Spanish ham, cut thin and served by people who take it seriously. Nearby, La Violeta is on the list too, a small shop known for violet candies and a sweet counterpoint to the savory stops.

For something offbeat, visit the Duck Church, a church devoted to ducks. It is the kind of stop you will describe to friends for years. Then settle in at Bodega de la Ardosa, a traditional bar for a glass of vermouth, Madrid’s classic aperitif.

A Free Day in Madrid

The itinerary leaves a free day on your own, so you can go back to a favorite stop or try something new. A good option is Retiro Park, where you can rent a rowboat and drift across the lake with a monument rising behind you. It is a quiet, green break between meals.

Add the Episode’s Highlights

Two more moments from the episode fit easily into your days. The Reina Sofia is Madrid’s modern art museum and home to Picasso’s Guernica, and a visit puts one of the most famous paintings of the twentieth century in front of you. And since ham is the star of the trip, add a ham-carving lesson and learn how to slice a leg of jamón yourself.
