DestinationsMADRID YOUR WAY
Three food stops near the routes, with neighbourhood photographs and links to help you choose.
Mercado de San Miguel
Tapas and food stalls
Fits between Plaza Mayor and Plaza de la Villa. Check prices per item: several small dishes can add up to more than a set meal.
Budget: varies by stall and order; check the menu.
Mercado de Antón Martín
Market and varied cuisines
A way to extend the museum walk into the neighbourhood. Check each stall’s opening hours, not just those of the building.
Budget: varies by stall and order; check the menu.
Mercado de San Ildefonso
Food stalls and terraces
A detour from Gran Vía towards Fuencarral. Check menus and seating or booking arrangements.
Budget: varies by stall and order; check the menu.
Check the menu and prices before ordering, ask what a set menu includes, and discuss allergens directly with the venue. These suggestions help you find areas to eat: we have not tried every stall and cannot guarantee availability. We have no commercial agreements with these markets.
