Enthroned in the center of the Plaza San Miguel , in a lively district, this market is a top place to eat and go out for people from Madrid and passing visitors. Its some 1200 square meters are home to producers and sellers of fruit and vegetables, meat, fish and local specialties; bars and other restaurants.

After renovations to restore it to its original appearance, the market reopened on May 13, 2009 with traditional, quality and seasonal products. This high place of gastronomy offers colorful stalls but also corners with tables and chairs to allow the greediest to taste on site. Tapas, Iberian ham, paella and other rice dishes, seafood, cheeses and fresh fruit as well as local wines and beers find their place on the 33 stalls, each one more appetizing than the next. Shows are organized regularly to always give more life to the San Miguel market, this place which brings together the cultural, gastronomic and historical aspects of the city. Today, the market has established itself as one of Madrid’s must-see landmarks: it attracts more than 10 million visitors every year.

I must tell you all, had my share at Mariscos Morris, Pinkleton & Wine, El Yantar de Ayer, and Quesoba, and took out octopus Galician style, bottle of Rosé wine from Provence France!, empanadas of different sorts, and manchego cheese! Heavens !!!

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
