Mercado de San Miguel

A feast for the eyes as much as the appetite! Clearly my priorities were only that of feasting and not photographing as I only have one picture from the Mercado and that is of traditional tapas. I do love anchovies - and this was delicious! Whether with a generous slice of butter, or roasted peppers - they were a flavour experience! The atmosphere at the Mercado is effervescent. It is a truly sensory adventure - the food not only looks beautiful, but the smells and sounds enhance the flavours.

Stop in day or night to sample some local delicacies or to have a drink - or just wander around to appreciate the beautiful stalls and the building itself.
