San Miguel Market is more than just a market — it’s a true temple of Spanish gastronomy, attracting over 7 million visitors a year. Housed in a historic building over 100 years old, it offers a huge variety of Spanish delicacies: from fresh oysters and Iberian ham to tapas, cheeses, and gourmet desserts. A glass of sherry or Spanish wine is the perfect pairing for any dish.

Yes, it’s touristy and always busy — but still, it’s one of those must-see places in Madrid that truly captures the taste and spirit of Spain.

Opening hours: 10:00 – 00:00

My Tip: What to try and where at San Miguel Market:
