La Mercadería de Antón Martín

9 Best Markets in Madrid | Condé Nast Traveler

"Within walking distance from Sol—but definitely un-touristy—Mercado de Antón Martín, at the northern tip of Lavapiés, has a fun mix of old-timey bars and international food stalls. Pack a picnic basket of cracked Málaga olives (Variantes Juanjo), hand-sliced Iberico ham (Romero), and aged manchego (Quesería Antón Martín), and claim a park bench on the neighboring Plaza de Tirso de Molina. Or dine in: Cutzamala makes some seriously rave-worthy guac; Fiaschetteria La Saletta will satisfy your porchetta cravings; and there's nothing not to love about Latazo's affordable canned delicacies." - Benjamin Kemper
