The markets of Madrid are part of the identity of the city and are essential for the development of neighborhood life. In the municipal markets of Madrid you can find fresh ingredients, local products and of course, a personalized service.
The Mercado de Maravillas celebrates its 80th anniversary as one of the most emblematic places in the capital. This food market is located in the Tetuán area and in it you can see a perfect mix between multiculturalism and traditional flavor.
Si algo distingue al Mercado de Maravillas es su gran tamaño, ya que dicen que en su interior cabe un mundo , y es que en este espacio ubicado en el número 122 de la calle Bravo Murillo, abrió sus puertas en 1942 y fue creado por el arquitecto Pedro Muguruza, se pueden encontrar pescaderías cuadrangulares, fruterías bulliciosas, pequeñas cafeterías y tiendas minúsculas.
El Mercado de Maravillas está repleto de puestos tras los cuales podemos encontrar excelentes profesionales que gracias a su trabajo y su tesón, sin duda harán que dentro de unas décadas el mercado cumpla otros 80 años.
