New face, same skeleton.
He was the pioneer in the new (and long) life of the markets of always, a decade ago the Mercado de San Miguel reopened its doors transformed into a gastronomic space (turning one of those centennial shops in Madrid into the epicenter of its social life) where not only could you still go shopping, but it also regained its function as an agora or community center to spend time at bars, with a vermouth in one hand and a skewer in the other.
Now, the Mercado de San Miguel has a lot to celebrate. On the one hand, those 10 years in which it has led this wave of markets as social centers, snacks and good eating; and on the other, it celebrates them by renewing its proposal, with new proper names and new offers. A renovation that was inaugurated last week and will open its doors by the end of 2019, preserving its iron skeleton with more than 100 years of history.

Its ice creams, chocolates and cakes of impossible flavors and shapes will join the sweet offer that it already proposed The oven of San Onofre, with its cakes, buns and breads; and the frozen yogurt of The Yogurt.
