Mercado de la Cebada

Nice market! it still resists the “gourmetization” of the new generation of markets to attract tourists, and offer accessible prices! There’s a great shop with pastrami sandwiches that look amazing. The toilets are clean, but unfortunately many stalls inside the market are closed. It feels like the place has a lot of potential, but for some reason it wasn’t very busy — probably why so many shops were shut. There’s also an interesting second floor with different stores and three old Nintendo consoles where you can play some classic games like Super Mario and come back to 80s

A market place with lots of small shops. Fish, fresh fruits and vegetables are in many shops. Opens around 10am. Didn’t see any ready to eat food shops. Lots of entrances around the premises. It was not very crowded around the time we visited which was 10:30 on a Tuesday. Sellers are friendly. Premise has several floors. Worth a visit if you are around the area.

This is a great place to visit if you’re in the La Latina neighborhood. Go to Frutas Cuestas!! The lady on the first floor, who makes the tortilla with all fresh eggs serves the best tortilla we had in all of Spain. Such a great version of it if you haven’t had enough.There is also a great place to get gelato on the top floor (gelato lab) and lots of artisans and booths.

It was a very organized market but there weren’t many open stalls. I went on a Wednesday at 4pm so it could have been because of that. It was pretty quiet and not a lot to buy the day I went. I’m assuming it is busier on the weekends.

Local wet and dry market. Plenty for food stalls and local made produce and products. Fresh meats, seafood and vegetables in the morning.

Smaller, multi-level local market in La Latina neighborhood. Lots of meats, fresh produce and smaller shops selling specialty food items from all over. There are several arts and crafts stalls, and this cute look laundromat inside as well. Nice and clean. Totally worth the trip out there!

Mercado de la Cebada is a nice market in La Latina with a mix of old and new. Inside you find fresh food stalls with fruit, fish, meat, and local products, but also small bars and places to eat tapas. The atmosphere is lively and local, not just touristy, and prices are fair. It’s a good spot to try Spanish flavors and enjoy the vibe of Madrid.

Great market with many locals shopping and dining here. Plenty of fresh food stalls, some local art shops, carpenters, bars and cafes. The sellers are really nice and friendly. We recommend to pop in for a cheesecake at the spot with many country flags and an elderly gentleman behind the counter - it is divine! And his pastrami sandwich is good too. Look for it on the first floor.

Great "local" market. This seems like where the locals go. A bit off the central Madrid area. Fresh seafood stands selling cooked and raw seafood. People standing around eating their purchases afterwards. The stands also sell wine and beer. You can really enjoy yourself as a foodie. The produce looked super fresh and enticing. There were fruits that we've never seen before so we bought some to try. The variety of tomatoes was awesome. Signs posted "no touching." You touch you pay. Apparently they serve the fruits and tomatoes right there for their patrons. We bought some "bulls balls" tomatoes. They looked gorgeous. Gorgeous balls of bulls. Huevos del toro. Enjoy !

This farmers' market is more than what you would expect - we came here on 03.06.24 and discovered at the end of our trip where we should have gone on Day One. The stalls are operated by local vendors eager to sell their inventory, whether it be meat, seafood, vegetables, fruit, cheese, wine, et cetera. There are also stands where you can buy seafood, have it made for you, then sit and eat it with a bottle of wine from the same establishment. Genius! For friendliness, the vendors we talked to were top notch. The layout of the market is ideal for browsing and taking your time. There was none of that chaos you find at the more touristy markets. If you are on the lookout for amazing produce that you would pay way more for if you could even find this quality in the US, this is the place. Enjoy!

Came here on a Saturday around 1 PM looking for a seafood stand inside the market that makes seafood on the spot, wine included in the cost (creds to tripadvisor for this tip). There were very few people at the market because of the Real Madrid game that afternoon, and quite a few stands were closed. We had some trouble finding the stand, and were about to give up. However, as I peered at some fish and shellfish in trays at a stand on the upper floor, a server at the stand invited us to take a look at the menu, and I was elated to discover it matched what I was looking for. The seafood was so fresh! We got the razor clams, shrimp with garlic, tuna, scallops, and mussels with salsa (on the house). The shrimp with garlic was overcooked, but everything else was delicious. Our dishes were paired with a white wine that the server claimed to be on the sweeter side, but I thought it could have been more fragrant. All in all, the price was right and the seafood was great quality. Definitely worth the visit!

Would never think to come here and have a Saturday afternoon lunch at the fish market but i'm so glad our local friend brought us. You pick a number and when your number is called you tell the lady or man what you want and how much you want of it and they prepare it for you right there. You then pay for it, buy a bottle of wine and battle people for a tiny table to put your food on and eat. A lot of the vendors will put crates out so you can set your food out and eat right next to them but the area was packed. Luckily we found a tiny table away from the crowd to eat. Everything was so fresh, briny and delicious. The cost was also very reasonable for fresh seafood. The most expensive item was the octopus which was 14 euros but it fed three of us and was soooo tender! Everything else was under 8 euros. We got the octopus which was boiled and prepared simply with paprika and lemon juice. It was so tender and meaty. The little shrimps were flavorful and also tender. The mussels were nice and meaty and served with a bell pepper salsa/slaw. The ceviche was fresh and delicious and tangy and all the seafood washed down well with a crisp cold white wine. My friend said that her and friends do this once in a while to meet up for a nice treat! If you're visiting Madrid I recommend you try this foodie experience!

this indoor farmer's market is huge! unfortunately, i think i came near the end of the day, so it seemed pretty quiet and dead when i arrived...there were maybe a handful of shoppers here. we walked around and saw fresh produce, fruits and veggies, meats, seafood, and confections, scattered across two floors. they don't speak much english here, but i knew enough basic spanish to purchase some fruit from a vendor and provide the correct amount of euros as payment. prices weren't cheap, but they were very reasonable. centrally located near the la latina metro.

For a non-spanish guy that loves Spanish food but isn't used to such market halls this is paradise. For who lives in the neighbourhood a great occasion to buy food, every day until 21.30 in the evening! Try to look for the stands where local people is buying food. You will get best quality vegetables, fruits, fish, seafood and meat for very cheap prices! I love this market and try to buy my food there as often as possible now!
