The emblematic Mercado de San Miguel temporarily closes for historic renovations

Mercado de San Miguel, one of Madrid's most iconic gastronomic destinations and located next to Plaza Mayor, has temporarily closed for conservation work and improvements to its historic structure.

This closure affects both locals and tourists, who frequent the market for its wide range of culinary offerings, from jamón ibérico to Mediterranean rice dishes, all set within a century-old building of great heritage value.

The works aim to preserve the market's unique character and ensure its future as a gastronomic and cultural landmark. For now, no specific reopening date has been announced, although those responsible say it will be soon.
