If anyone goes there to see it, please give a report!
You'll get it! I plan to write a
Madrid Blog entry about it in the next few days.
They did a "spot" on it yesterday or the day before on TeleMadrid television and it confirmed my
fears of the rumors that it would be an upscale, boutique-type market. I remember well how it
used to be, a regular market, much like the Mercat de la Boquería in Barcelona - although smaller. Now, you have none of that ambiance in the new version of the Mercado de San Miguel. I can imagine the tourists which wander inside - due to its proximity to the Plaza Mayor - and thinking, "THIS is a typical market??"
Saludos, MadridMan
