Mercado de San Fernando

Mercado de San Fernando: one of Madrid’s most interesting markets

The Mercado de San Fernando is definitely a market in Madrid you must visit. Located in the neighbourhood of Lavapiés/Embajadores, this market was built in 1944 and is in the process of undergoing a renovation, though that shouldn’t keep you from visiting. Cause inside, next to an atmosphere that really resembles the local life in this area, it’s also a market with a wide range of quality products and ecological and slow food stalls.

You’ll find for instance Buena Pinta, a shop dedicated to specialty beers from throughout the world, including local ones. La Huerta del Sol is a cooperative ecological food store, offering all kinds of fresh ecological food, as well as pastas, jams, dairy products etc. Another lovely ecological fruit and vegetable shop you’ll find here is Amores Berros, which also offers delicious juices. But even in the non-food section there are interesting shops to discover, such as Las Ágoras, a shop of a group of women which wants to revalue artisan work, making various objects in artisan methods, including recycling. They share the space with the Mercado de Economía Social de Madrid, and are therefore also an information point of this market.

And this list just includes a small example of the nice stalls to be found at the Mercado de San Fernando. A great place to find quality products, and to meet people with a sincere passion for what they are offering.
