What to do and see in Centro, Community of Madrid: The Best Farmers Markets
So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

Mercado de San Antón, in the Chueca section of Madrid, is a multi-level market offering just about everything you can imagine. The first floor is dedicated to a traditional market. From meat, to fish, vegetables, to spices, oils and desserts; if you need it, chances are you can find it here. The second floor has a number of bars, and other places to get a quick bite to eat, and to sit for a bit. There is also a modern art gallery on this level. The third floor is taken up by the restaurant La Cocina de San Antón, which offers terrace seating with some nice views. The Chueca Metro stop is only about a half a block away, in the plaza of the same name. It's on the 5 line, so access from places like Gran Via are quite simple.
