Step inside Mercado de San Miguel, a 1916 wrought-iron market hall in central Madrid. Graze across stalls of local delicacies and drinks, soaking up the elegant atmosphere even when the aisles are packed.
Full description
Mercado de San Miguel is a covered market dating from around 1916, housed in an elegant wrought-iron hall in the heart of Madrid. Stalls sell local food, delicacies and drinks, and visitors praise the wide choice and the setting.
Opinions split on value: enthusiasts return daily during a week-long stay, while others find it small, very crowded even on a Monday afternoon, and priced for tourists. It is best treated as a place to sample a range of bites in a single stop.
Plan about an hour, with late opening hours.

Amazing and I def recommend. I’ve been in the city for a week and I go every day. so worth it!! Lots of food selection, and everything we tried was amazing, whether it was food or drinks. The people there are so nice and the whole atmosphere is great. It’s always full, but the crowd is friendly and you will still get…
