Mercado de San Miguel

Built in the xx s. with iron structure. inaugurated in 1916 as a market for abastos and in 2009 became a gastronomic market. it has rectangular floor, two floors high and 1200 m2. Currently the posts, are bars. great to cover. It's a place worth visiting but it's usually full.

The market itself was born in the open air and was next to the ancient octopus church, demolished in 1809. In 1911, the dube alfonso was entrusted with the construction of a structure for the market that it took as reference to the paris rooms. In the 1990s the market did not go through its best moment and closed provisionally to renew and give it the present aspect, something that was given in May 2009 with its reopening. has different posts with very varied offers. price higher than the average.

Thursday at the h. so many people that when you take some cheeses and some wines you can't drink in the bar, you can't find room to accommodate you. Maybe on some side of your feet you can eat. too much noise... and the price? for cheese cuñas? quite disappointing despite how beautiful it can be...

This place was packed with people. Everytime I walked by during my stay, it was busy. The pros: the food selections were great you'll have a hard time NOT finding something you like, from Sangria to desserts; you can pick something from several different vendors, pick up a glass of wine or beer, and be happy. It's an experience. The cons: It's very crowded; seating is VERY limited; not a good spot for children, although people bring their kids there. Overall, it's a spot I wouldn't want to miss just for the experience. There isn't anything like it back home.

Stumbled upon this gem walking around Madrid. This place has the best cheese in Mercado San Miguel if not Madrid!!! Great wine accompanied with all cheese just next door. Deals available. Staff were friendly, highly recommend.
