I stopped by Mariscal after touring Alhambra which really wore me out, so it was great to have the chance to relax, have a great cup of coffee along with delicious tapas.

I also found it to be a great place to stock up on cheeses and sausages as well as some really delicious top of the line "jamón ibérico de bellota" wherein I could immediately distinguish the pronounced earthy flavors attributable to the acorn feeding in the meat; a real treat even for the most fussy of foodies.
As the market selection is vast and the market counter service busy, your shopping may take some time but trust me on this, it will be well worth it. read more
