Mercado de San Miguel

This is one of Spain’s oldest surviving markets, and is beautifully constructed out of iron and glass. It looks different from other markets because certain pieces, such as the glass and designs on the roof, were inspired by French style architecture. The market almost gives you the feeling of eating outside because of the wall to wall glass panels, and it is a wonderful place to eat and watch all the Madrileños going about their daily lives. There are many delicious foods such as a croquets cart, tapas, jamón, and other popular Spanish foods.
