Madrid, Spain
Located near La Plaza Mayor, the “Mercado de San Miguel” is one of the oldest covered markets in Madrid. . It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 2000.
Mercado de San Miguel has recently gained a new appearance, but you can recognize the metal structure of its original construction (the only one surviving in Madrid). Its 33 shops offer a great variety of the best delicatessen delicatessen products in a magnificent setting. It can be called the market of this century even though the Market is almost one hundred years old (constructed in 1916).
