#Indoor Activities The San Miguel Market is known as the most beautiful market in Madrid. It is not only clean and tidy, but also has many shops. Walking there is just like walking in a department store. It is very comfortable and has no peculiar smell. What is even more incredible is that it has been open for more than 100 years! It's really old❤️ The market is open for a long time, so you can choose to have lunch, dinner or even a midnight snack here! For example, I had two meals in the market on the same day, and I went in and out several times in three days. It was so nice to visit that I forgot to take pictures of everything I ate. I highly recommend it. 🎯 San Miguel Market 10:00-24:00 It is 3 minutes away from Puerta del Sol and next to Plaza Mayer, so it is easy to find.

Mercado de San Miguel An air-conditioned gourmet food market nestled in the heart of Madrid, just a short walk from a convenient bus stop. With its elegant iron-and-glass architecture dating back to 1916, the market offers more than just food — it’s a feast for the senses. Inside, you’ll find an array of artisanal tapas, fresh seafood, Iberian ham, and even gourmet croquettes served in bite-sized portions. While it attracts more tourists than locals and the prices lean toward the higher end, the vibrant energy, live jamón carvings, and the chance to sip Spanish wine while people-watching make it an experience not to miss. Perfect for a casual graze or a flavorful intro to Spanish cuisine.

Madrid mini trip recap ✨ 1️⃣ A must-try: churros from Chocolatería San Ginés – crispy, golden, and perfect with that thick hot chocolate! Couldn’t finish the chocolate? No worries – grab some milk from the supermarket, mix it in, and boom: Spanish-style chocolate milk! 2️⃣ One regret… we missed Sobrino de Botín, the oldest restaurant in the world (since 1725!). Was hyped to try the roast suckling pig and garlic soup… guess it’s a mission for next time! 3️⃣ Checked out Puerta del Sol – the heart of Madrid! So cool to stand in the iconic square where everything happens. 4️⃣ Ate our way through San Miguel Market – the place has so much more than just tapas and oysters! We saw a variety of other local dishes we were dying to try, but sadly, we were already way too full… Looks like we’ll have to save the rest for our next visit! 5️⃣ Had the chance to enjoy a beautiful performance at the Royal Palace of Madrid – it was magical to experience such incredible music in such a historic setting. 6️⃣ Ended the night with an unforgettable Flamenco dance performance. The energy, the passion, the moves – absolutely mesmerizing! 7️⃣ Went shopping at Lefties, a local Spanish fashion brand under the same group as Zara – trendy styles at wallet-friendly prices. Totally worth a browse (and a haul)! 8️⃣ Started the day right with brunch at Zenith Brunch & Cocktail – their Eggs Benedict and pancakes were on point! Totally recommend it if you’re looking for a good breakfast spot. 9️⃣ Stayed at TOC Hostel Madrid – super convenient location, right next to the metro. Only downside? The hot water had commitment issues… cold shower surprise halfway through, haha.

Cathedral of Our Lady of Almudena The cathedral is one of the most important religious buildings in Madrid. Although Madrid is the capital of Spain, it did not have its own cathedral until 1993, which makes Almudena a relatively "young" cathedral because the construction of the church was interrupted many times due to wars and coups. It was not until 1993 that it was consecrated by Pope John Paul II himself. 9. Grand Avenue Gran Vía is the busiest and most vibrant street in Madrid, known as "Broadway of Madrid" and "the heart of the city". It is not only a shopping paradise and a cultural gathering place, but also a check-in destination for architecture enthusiasts. 10.

It guards the northern entrance of Madrid and symbolizes an open mind to the world. 11. Plaza Mayor, Madrid One of the oldest and most medieval squares in the historic center of Madrid. The square is not big but has a quiet and quaint atmosphere. The cobblestones on the ground and the flowers on both sides of the road create the "old city charm" of Madrid.

In a lively atmosphere, you can enjoy Spanish flavors with wine or cava (Spanish sparkling wine). We also recommend the San Antón Market, which is popular with locals.

Summary Madrid is a city where you can enjoy yourself to the fullest just by walking around the beautiful streets and touring the historic squares and markets.

#EuropeanTravel Madrid is the heart of Spain, a city that perfectly combines historical beauty and modern vitality. A walk in the Retiro Park was a special time that allowed me to forget the hustle and bustle of city life. Just walking around the lake and watching the locals boating was so peaceful. The Crystal Palace (Palacio de Cristal) inside the park sparkled in the sunlight and looked like a scene from a fairy tale. A day trip to Toledo was magical. Walking through the narrow streets of the medieval city, I felt like I was traveling back in time, and I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of the Toledo Cathedral. The view from this ancient city was indescribably beautiful. The Sol Square (Puerta del Sol) is the heart of Madrid and is always full of life. People watching while enjoying traditional Spanish desserts such as churros and chocolate was an unforgettable memory. The Royal Palace (Palacio Real) was a sight to behold with its grandeur and elaborate interior. Each room had a sense of Spanish history, and the Royal Armory and Pharmacy were particularly unique experiences. The trip to Segovia was a highlight of my trip to Madrid. The Roman aqueduct was amazing, and the Segovia Castle looked like a fairytale castle. The cochinillo asado (roasted suckling pig) I had there was the best. Madrid is a city where art, history, and food are in perfect harmony. From the artworks in the Prado Museum to the variety of tapas in the San Miguel Market, Madrid was a destination for all the senses. I would love to visit this charming city again.

#celebrateit Before my arrival in Madrid, I read that many compared Madrid to Barcelona and found it boring/inferior. But that was not what I found. I enjoyed Madrid city landscape a whole lot. It has the similar sophisticated, classical styled architecture like that of Paris or London. Places not to miss for citywalk: 1) Plaza Mayor 2) Gran Via 3) Pl. de Colon 4) Royal Palace P/S: If you’re a fan for museum, I can never stop recommending archeological museum (Biblioteca Nacional de España)—kindly check out the next post.

**Day 1: History and Art Meet in Madrid** Due to jet lag, our family of three woke up at five in the morning! The winter in Madrid is like a child who stays in bed and lingers until eight o'clock when the sun finally rises. Wrap yourself in a thick coat and rush out the door with your breath breathing out - the early morning chill is instantly dispelled by excitement! The first stop is Puerta del Sol, which is the "heart of the city" in Madrid! The statues of the bear and strawberry tree in the center of the square are so cute (the emblem of Madrid!), and the little one immediately rushed over to take a photo. Look down and find the **"Zero Point Landmark** (Kilómetro Cero) on the ground. All the road mileage in Spain is calculated from here. If we round it off, we are now "standing at the center of the country"! Next to it is a statue of King Carlos III riding a horse. This 18th-century "Madrid transformation maniac" is still nicknamed "the coolest mayor" by locals - after all, he built the street lights and sewers! Then we went into the alley and found the century-old shop Chocolatería San Ginés. This churro shop has been "feeding" the people of Madrid since 1894. The golden and crispy churros are dipped in thick hot chocolate, and you will instantly become a god after one bite! The little guy had a mouth full of "chocolate beard" and solemnly declared: "It tastes better than the donuts at Disney!" After filling your stomach, rush to the largest royal palace in Europe - **Palacio Real in Madrid**! This 18th-century Baroque building was formerly an Arab castle. In 1734, a fire burned for three days and three nights. Philip V slapped his thigh and said, "Build me a cool one!" So the Italian architect Sabatini took charge of the construction, and it took 26 years to complete! When I walked into the palace, I was so dazzled that I couldn't open my eyes: - **King's Hall** (Salón del Trono): The walls are covered with red velvet and gold leaves, and the Rococo style is extremely luxurious. There is also a painting of Titian's "Glory" hanging above the throne; - **Porcelain Hall** (Salón de Porcelana): 4,600 pieces of blue and white porcelain are pieced together to create a Chinese-style mural, custom-made during the Qianlong period, a perfect blend of Chinese and Western styles; - **Royal Armoury**: The little one stares at Charles V's golden armour with his eyes shining, "Mom! This is cooler than Iron Man's suit!" At noon, rush to **Mercado de San Miguel**, a food paradise under the glass dome! The ham slices looked like works of art, the olives were stuffed with salmon, the croquettes were bitten open and cheese flowed out like a waterfall... The little guy walked around the venue holding the tapas, and finally declared with his hands on his belly: "Spanish food is the most delicious science experiment in the world!" In the afternoon, I rushed into the free session of the **Prado Museum** (18:00-20:00 free!), and went straight to the three giants of the town: 1⃣ **Velázquez's "Las Meninas"**: Even Picasso copied this "painting within a painting" 58 times! The mirror reflects the king and his wife, and the painter himself is also peeking at you in the painting - the little guy counted for a long time: "Who is looking at who?" 2⃣ **Goya's "The Naked Maja"**: The Spanish version of "Mona Lisa", which almost led the painter to the Inquisition! The little boy asked a soul-searching question: "Why does the "clothed Maha" next to him have to wear clothes?" (Because the church is coming to inspect!) 3⃣ **Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights"**: A medieval version of "The Jungle Book", with rare and exotic animals flying all over the sky, leaving the whole family stunned - this imagination can be used as a science fiction movie script now! It started to drizzle when we left the museum, and Madrid in the winter rain seemed to be covered with a soft light filter. We walked on the wet cobblestone road, recalling the moonlight and Bosch's fantasy described by Goya, and ended this magical day. **✨ Travel Tips** - The Royal Palace of Madrid is now only used for state events, and the king and his family live in a small villa in the suburbs (Versailles: I didn’t expect it!) - Las Meninas Royal Palace of Madrid Prado Museum Puerta del Sol Torres Bermejas Flamenco Show San Miguel Market

#2024TravelReview 🌍 Mercado de San Miguel This is a flea market that has been supplying fresh ingredients to Madrid residents since 1916. It completely overturned my view of the market because the building where the market is located is so beautiful, with glass floor-to-ceiling windows and an iron frame roof, and the ground is very clean. This is also the place where we have seen the most people gather since we arrived in Spain. Every aisle is filled with tourists lingering at the stalls and enjoying the food. There is not much space for people to stop and take pictures. There are also many small stalls selling the most distinctive snacks and wines in Spain. Each stall owner neatly displays his or her specialty food, which makes people very appetizing at the sight. My two favorite stalls are those selling oysters and sea urchins. The oysters are big and the sea urchins are sweet and fresh. They are both very fresh, but a little expensive. This attraction is recommended to all friends who are visiting Spain for the first time and want to learn about Spanish cuisine. It is a centralized place where you can taste all Spanish cuisines in one stop. It is also the place where you can best feel the enthusiasm of the Spanish people and their love for food. 🌍 The Temple of Debod was donated to Spain by the Egyptian government in 1968. It is located in Parque del Cuartel de la Montaña. Montana Park is very beautiful. From a high place you can see the Royal Palace of Madrid and the city of Madrid. From the photos on the Internet, you can see that the Temple of Debod is surrounded by water, but when we arrived in November, I don’t know if it was due to a water restriction order, so the ponds and fountains we saw in Spain and Paris were all dry, and we were a little disappointed that we couldn’t capture the sky mirror effect we saw on the Internet. 🌍 Palacio Real de Madrid Visit the largest royal palace in Western Europe, which has a total of 3,418 rooms. The building is magnificent. Going up the main staircase, you will pass through carefully designed rooms. Each room is unique, with different murals and furniture, showing the royal collection. The most breathtaking is the dining room where state banquets are held. There is a long table that can accommodate 144 people at the same time. The murals on the vault were created by Francisco Bayeu. It is recommended to reserve more than 1 hour for the visit. If there is an audio guide, you can learn more about the history of the palace.

#2025 Overseas Travel Event The San Miguel Market is a traditional Madrid market that has been remodeled into an indoor market. It is cleanly managed and friendly. It feels like a department store mart. Although the prices are on the high side, sitting down and eating simple tapas can be a memorable experience.

📍Mercado de San Miguel, Madrid, Spain Madrid’s Mercado de San Miguel is a must-visit food paradise where you’ll experience a feast for your taste buds! Since opening in 1916, this food market has undergone a spectacular renaissance, with countless tourists and locals coming to explore its delicious secrets. The tempting aroma will make you stop at every stall, where there is a rich collection of Spanish snacks, from smoked Iberico ham to a variety of delicious cheeses, all of which are mouth-watering. Food is mostly served in small portions, so it’s recommended not to order too much at first so you can try a variety of dishes! Chatty travelers can chat with the stall owners, most of whom are warm and friendly and happy to share the background story of the food and recommend their signature dishes. If you can still distract yourself from the delicious food, you might as well admire the iron and glass structure inside the market, which adds a unique charm to this place! 📌It is recommended to visit before lunch/dinner to avoid the peak crowds. Don’t forget to bring some cash with you, as some stalls may only accept cash! #ChristmasGoodPlaces2024 #GlobalTravel #RegisterForHotelTestSleeperInDecember #2024TravelReview #SpanishTravel #SpanishCooking #SpanishGoodPlaces

[San Miguel Market] Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸 A market in the city center of Madrid, Spain! You can enjoy a lot of delicious things unique to Spain, from impressive Iberian pork, churros, paella, Spanish omelette, tapas, and other burgers to sweets and sangria! 🤍I was so confused that I decided to have two types of tapas and churros as a snack 🥰 In other countries, markets crowded with tourists like this have a high price image, but this market is reasonably priced, and the tapas I chose were 2 euros each, and the churros were 3.5 euros for a pack of 5! Next time, I'd like to go there hungry and eat a lot~🤍 📍Mercado de San Miguel Pl. de San Miguel, s/n, Centro, 28005 Madrid, Spain #Overseas travel record #Spain #Madrid #Spain trip #market

#August Travel Support Event I visited San Miguel Market while traveling in Madrid, Spain. It was easy to access because it was near Plaza Mayor, and the market was indoors, so it had a pleasant atmosphere. The ham sold at the entrance was really delicious, and there were many types of tapas, so it was fun to look around. It was a little pricey, but since you can try various Spanish dishes in one place, I recommend visiting it once if you come to Madrid.

#Overseas travel Just like you must visit the night market when you go to Southeast Asia, there is a place you must visit when you go to Madrid. It is the San Miguel Market in Madrid. It is a traditional food market with a history of about 100 years. The interior is neat and stylish, as if the 100 years have passed without a trace. They sell various ingredients, fruits, seafood, beer, bakery, tapas, etc., so you can have a snack or a meal. It is near Plaza Mayor, a major tourist attraction, so it is good to stop by before going to the plaza. 📍Mercado san Miguel
