Amazing place! Best place for tapas, wine and beers in Madrid! I went with my wife and enjoyed it really much. You can get Tapas cheaper than here but the atmosphere is priceless. If you dont minding standing up to eat you should go here. There are places to sit but as it is a crowdy place it can sometimes... More

This is a wonderful market with good, and very reasonably priced tapas laid out in front of each stall. The people at the wine bar speak very good English and are really helpful in their recommendations once they know the type of wine that you like. They introduced me to some really spectacular garanchas. You can just stand at the... More

This market is simply amazing. Great food, reasonably priced. Great for a quick tapas meal & a drink. May have to fight for a spot to eat as it is busy, but worth it for the food delights

Just as everyone else says. Beatle down to this place and be amazed by the choice of little tapas dishes, little snacks and fabulous drinks. Fruit, fruit juices made as you wait...go for breakfast and drink hot, sweet coffee while darting off to find little treats for breakie. Hot bread, with chorizo and an egg on top for 3.50 eu....

Hard by the Plaza Mayor, this small well-organized market was a fabulous find. Exactly as others have said, the best way to enjoy this is to find a place to sit, and then take it in turns to run back and forth with wine, food etc. whilst your companion(s) guard your spot. Not quite as inexpensive as some hole-in-the-wall tapas... More

A market hall, formerly in use for daily groceries for the Madrilenos, but currently a somewhat more luxury market for leisure. Tapas & drinks in all kinds of styles from different stalls allow you to pick & mix. A bit of peeking at all the people eating & walking around is allowed; people come from all over the world, but...

Discovering Spanish delicacies is easy in this market. Find a spot to lean against or sit and then take turns a going to the different bars and bring back their specialities. The croquette bar was the stand out or me going back to double up on the squid ink surprise.

This renovated farmer's market is amazing, a true foodie delight! Great ambiance, and selection of food, from the tried and true tapas in it's many forms to mozzarella di bufala "puffs" served with a variety of garnishes, organic wines, cheese shops (the one with white ashes my personal fave), the best roast almonds I have ever tried... I could go... More

OMG, I loved this place, it was fabulous!! It was a bit like Borough market in London... Lots of deli stores selling great food, sweet stuff and trinkets... But the great thing is every 3rd stall is a bar serving wine, cocktails and, my favourite, Sangria... Open day and night, a great place to go for a drink and it's... More

Fantastic place for a break and a nibble. A variety of tapas available and everyone will find something to enjoy. A chance to meet other tourists or enjoy a few drinks with your own group. Bono apparently visits that market every time he is in Madrid, so sounds tempting enough :)
