The Market of San Miguel (in Spanish: Mercado de San Miguel) is a special covered market. You can find it in Madrid, Spain. It was first built in 1916. Later, in 2003, some private investors bought it. They fixed up its cool iron structure and opened it again in 2009.

Discovering San Miguel Market

The San Miguel Market is a very popular spot in Madrid, especially for visitors. This is because it's right in the middle of the city. You can easily walk there from Plaza Mayor, a famous square.

What Kind of Market Is It?

This market is not like a regular grocery store where you buy raw ingredients. Instead, it's a "gourmet tapas market." This means it's a place where you can try many small, delicious dishes called tapas.

Food and Drinks Galore

There are more than 30 different sellers inside the market. They offer a huge variety of freshly made foods. You can find tasty tapas, delicious hams, olives, and freshly baked treats. There are also many other yummy foods to try.
