Mercado San Miguel, Madrid

Loved stopping here for food. What a unique experience. Why don't we have this in the states? Totally hip vibe with great wine or beers to choose from. Love olives? There is a station just for that. Love fried bacon, they have it! My only regret was not wearing elastic pants.

They had told me so well about this market that I decided to visit it and it has fulfilled the expectations it brought. Traditional food market, but with a strong presence of urban food stalls, especially Spanish as expected. You can find Spanish products, although I expected more variety at the level of culture. It has several international food stalls, also with an important presence of communities from Spain. It is on one side of the emblematic Plaza Mayor. Prices are high but not extortionate and on weekends it is full of people and tourists, it is impossible to walk.
