Mercado de San Miguel

The Mercado de San Miguel is a historic market hall next to the Plaza Mayor in central Madrid, opened as a food market and now run as a gastronomic market.

Why go

The market's own site says the Mercado de San Miguel opened more than 100 years ago as a food market (mercado de abastos) and that the historic building now operates as a gastronomic market, with more than 20 stalls centred on tapas. Wikidata records the building as a Bien de Interés Cultural with an inception date of 1916. Madrid's tourism site places it next to the Plaza Mayor. The record is the market hall; the individual stalls are businesses that change and are not part of it.
