Mercado de Maravillas (Tetuán): Madrid's big neighbourhood market
At 122 calle Bravo Murillo, in the Tetuán district, the Mercado de Maravillas is a large neighbourhood market with over 200 stalls according to esmadrid (over 250 in its English version). You come for the fishmongers, butchers, greengrocers and bakeries, not for souvenirs: it is a market lived in by locals, far from the central food halls.
Highlights
The indoor hall
Walk the fresh-produce aisles: fish, meat, fruit and vegetables. It is the best way to see everyday Madrid.
The four entrances
The market opens onto Bravo Murillo, Palencia, Hernani and Condesa de Gavia streets; enter by one and leave by another to cover more stalls.
The surrounding district
Combine it with a walk in the Tetuán district, away from tourist crowds.
