The new eco and bulk space
After conquering **La Latina**, Mario Salmeron has taken its motto "eating healthy has its reward" a Malasana and he has opened the flagship of this concept in which you can take your purchases from home and also have a juice or try their salads and gazpachos . all natural products, from the garden of Almería of his parents.
New juices freshly made and, obviously, natural
Veganism and vegetarianism has arrived . We had warned him, and whoever does not want to believe it is that he does not walk around Madrid enough. But let no one be scared, that does not mean that it is imposed as the only food option, but rather that it gives us places where vegetables and fruits they return to have the taste, color, smell and properties of before, always.
More than appetizing...
One of those places is The Garden of Almeria . Created and run by an Almerian, of course, Mario Salmerón who arrived in Madrid more than 10 years ago with a title of Mister Almería under his arm and has become a pioneer of healthy and organic food. Without foolishnesses. Salmerón missed the taste of vegetables in Madrid that his parents produced in his native province and he decided to open this place where, in addition, he could take you home Raf tomatoes from Pujaire or oil from Tabernas , you can sit at one of their high tables (which they also make with recycled wood) and try all those products that you see in the panines, bowls either juices that they prepare at the moment.
He started conquering La Latina and, for a few months, he has installed a new branch of this Huerta de Almería in Malasana so that more and more people from Madrid have the opportunity to try a gazpacho or a salmorejo made with those tomatoes that you don't find so easily. Or buy fruits, vegetables and nuts in bulk.

They sell to the user on foot, to the neighbor who wants to try that of the healthy lifestyle , and they also serve at home (of course, by bike) and to restaurants and other wholesale establishments. Salmerón's objective is that his motto and his philosophy of life spread more and more, that we recover the flavors of always, without our pockets suffering along the way.
In the Malasaña store, divided into two levels, you first find the shelves with all the greengrocers and greengrocers and the bar where you can order your juices or dishes to take away or for eat them on top where are the tables and baskets and cacti and esparto pots that serve as decoration but are also for sale.
They open all day, from morning to midnight. And at any time they prepare what you ask for. But if you go in time for breakfast or snack, their vegan tarts are a must. Then you thank us.

WHY GO?
Because his motto makes perfect sense: “Eating healthy has its reward” , but, in addition, he adds another element: eating cheaply. And another one: fast. You have no excuses to take care of yourself.
