"Home to Madrid's premier natural wine bar (Bendito Vinos y Vinilos), sole purchase-by-the-pound bookstore (La Casquería), and a ramen counter that could hold its own in Tokyo (Yan Ken Pon), Mercado de San Fernando is as gritty and multicultural as the surrounding neighborhood of Lavapiés. Interspersed with the traditional stalls—snap up Spanish culinary souvenirs like canned fish, cheeses, sausages at La Sal—there are Mexican taco stands, hippie-dippie crafts purveyors, expert empanada makers, and every type of tapa. Get lost and follow your nose; you won't regret it." - Benjamin Kemper
