Mercado de San Miguel

Madrid, Spain

About Mercado de San Miguel

Madrid's most beautiful iron-and-glass market — a 1916 structure near the Plaza Mayor with gourmet tapas stalls serving jamón ibérico, fresh oysters, vermouth, and pintxos. Crowded but superb; the vermouth hour at midday on Saturday is a quintessential Madrid experience.

La Latina Tapas Crawl

The heart of authentic Madrid tapas culture — the streets of La Latina (Cava Baja, Cava Alta, Almendro) are lined with traditional tabernas serving the finest free tapas with each drink: fried egg on bread (el matrimonio), braised tongue, pickled anchovies. Sunday is the best day; the Rastro flea market fills the adjacent streets.
