Last May we discovered the Mercade de San Miguel while on a two day gettaway to Madrid. Although it does not match the sheer scale and size of the La Boqueria in Barcelona, the displays, atmosphere and colours were no less impressive. The lumps of caramel being shaped into sweets, the fishmonger slicing and dicing with the bigget fish-knife ever, the oyster bar and the fruit sellers all make for a meal for the eyes.
Lunch that day however was just next door to the market in a tourist trap....but you can go wrong with a bagutte filled simply with a slice of Spanish omelette.
