Popular place!!! I've been here several times. Jamón Iberico is the best that's the sandwich I…read moreget. Saturday it was packed at 5:30. The sandwiches are good and quick. The locals hang out and drink beer and eat ham. I guess you would call that hamming it up. It's all about the ham and the ham is damn good. It can get load and hard to find a place to stand or sit. Usually this frenetic vibe throws me off, here I like it. Do when you walk by and see all that ham hanging out come on in and join the ham crew. You won't regret it. Jamon I should say instead of ham, but I'm a dumb American lol.

Came here for a tapas tasting after a tour. Our tasting included 4 meats, a cheese, some bread and…read morea glass of wine. I am not a pork eater, but this was excellent. I only didn't really care for the jamon, but it wasn't bad. All the others were so good. Service was great and employees were helpful. I would recommend stopping by!

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.

We popped into Anton Martin Market and kicked things off with a handful of olives before diving…read moreinto Spain's take on fish and chips! Ha! Anchovies hanging out on a bed of potato chips. Salty and perfect! Unlike the polished chaos of San Miguel Market, Anton Martin feels lived-in. People actually come here prior to cooking dinner and not for the selfie. It's not curated for your Instagram story, it's just real. You'll find spice stalls, plenty of olives, unlimited cheese, little bars for a quick drink and there's always that one guy slicing ham somewhere in some corner. Walk around and taste it all. The vendors are fast so be ready.

Great time and great food stands…read more We wanted to try out another food stop on our adventure last November and we stopped here. There were plenty of bocadillos and tapas on at least three floors here. We had an opportunity to browse at most of the offerings through windows. We finally decided on this one place that served delicious ceviche and beer. This place does slow down after two o'clock but they were warming up to open after about 4pm. It is well within walking distance of the Puerta del Sol and Atocha Train Station. One of the many food markets that Central Madrid has to offer and great offerings for all types of tastes.
