Mike's review
Visited 2025A bit expensive, but always fun to walk around. The 1916 iron-and-glass market hall is the main reason I still stop in. It is now a collection of tapas, seafood, charcuterie, desserts, and drink counters rather than a traditional grocery market.
I would use it for one snack or a drink, then eat a full meal elsewhere. It gets crowded and the prices reflect the location beside Plaza Mayor, but the building is easy to include while walking through the old center.
From the source
Historic iron-and-glass food hall beside Plaza Mayor, now filled with tapas, seafood, charcuterie, desserts, wine, and other ready-to-eat stalls.
