We were used to having to bring bags (in Amsterdam) here they have bags for you. This place has everything a traveler would need- from batteries to toiletries at great prices. People were friendly and the store is clean. They have a security guy who might follow you around, but he's not scary or anything.

Mercado de la Paz is the sort of place that gets you in trouble fast, which is exactly why it is my…read morekind of place. You walk in with some vague idea of restraint, and within minutes, that collapses. Seafood here, jamón there, cheeses lined up like bad decisions, pastries waiting to finish the job. I felt like a kid in a candy store, except this was far better than candy. What makes the place work is the range. It is not just market stalls. You have fresh produce and specialty food counters alongside bars, restaurants, and small places to stop and eat properly, which is part of what gives it real life. This is not some bloodless, overdesigned food hall built for people who want photos more than flavor. It has pulse, smell, noise, and appetite: exactly my taste, and the kind of place where one lap is never enough.

This is a local public market in Madrid, located in the Salamanca district which is kinda like the…read more5th Ave/UES of Manhattan with its fancy stores and nice apartments. Although in a fancier neighborhood this neighborhood spot is down-to-earth and accessible to all. A lot less touristy than markets closer to Sol. Like other markets they have a variety of vendors carrying a plethora of ingredients--fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, cured meats & cheeses, herbs/spices/condiments, preserved and prepared foods. A florist, bakeries and house/kitchenware shops round out the assortment. A few restaurants too, notably the famous "Casa Dani" is located here, most recently made popular (to non-local foodies) by Netflix's "Somebody Feed Phil". I arrived on a Monday morning around 10:30am so the atmosphere was pretty low key with mostly locals picking up groceries, grabbing a bite to eat, with a couple local tour guides bringing around 1-2 tourists on personalized tours. Vendors were still setting up/unloading some items for the day. It was fun to check out the variety of items at each stall, and pick up a couple food souvenirs. Opening hours are 9am-8pm Mon-Friday and 9am-2:30pm Saturday, closed Sundays. Vendors take cash and card in most cases though always good to bring a little extra cash for smaller purchases with local vendors.

Though the food here isn't gourmet like San Miguel. We grabbed a kebab at durummania #24. Decent kebab wrap with shawarma meat with lettuce, tomato and onion in a sweet pita bread. Tasty, filling and inexpensive being only €6. Not bad if you want inexpensive food! Service and ambiance is much like fast food. Nothing special. But if you just go down the block from this Mercado, there are cute dining spots all around! Wish we knew beforehand!
