Madrid: Fabulous Yet Casual Dining @ Mercado De San Miguel

Just off the Plaza Mayor is the Mercado de San Miguel which is more a gourmet food court than a mercado and another one of Madrid’s highlights that is doable with a child. Bubbies can feast on croquettes and patties while you sample the best of Madrid’s seafood, olives, jamon and wine. While there is no real seating (tables are interspersed throughout the market and are meant for snacking rather than full-on lunching), you can stroll with your pram from one stall to another and sample one delight at a time, therefore never ladening yourself with too much at any given time.
