The Sherry Corner at San Miguel Market

Last weekend I went to San Miguel market in Madrid, one of the coolest places in the city. It was crowded but also a lot of fun!! People went from one stall to the other tasting cheese, olives, tapas, wine, beer, champagne, etc.

The market was a very old building recovered last year after it went through a period of remodeling, and now it looks absolutely gorgeous.

One of the stalls that caught my attention was the Sherry Corner, a very cozy stall to enjoy different styles of Sherry directly from small barrels. Each of the barrels had a face painted on it, as if they were different characters. It was a very cool!! The quality of the sherry wasn’t over the top, but it was still good.

Definitely San Miguel Market is in my top 10 of things-things-to-do-in-Madrid list, so don´t miss it if you come!!
