Highlights-Madrid
I visited the Mercado de San Miguel. I didn’t do much else because I ran in the morning before it got hot.
If sandwiches could talk
I think they’d being saying “Ouch!”

Notable Items
Today was the first time I visited the Mercado de San Miguel shortly after it opened (10:00am). It is a major tourist attraction in Madrid, located right next to Plaza Mayor (roughly between Puerta del Sol and the Royal Palace). It was only a few blocks from the apartment where I was staying.
The Mercado is mobbed with visitors from noon to 3pm and again in the early evening. There are many tables for eating and drinking, but it is seldom easy to find one open after buying your jamón, stuffed olives, seafood, tapas, gelato, pastry, sandwiches, wine, or any of the other Spanish delicacies you can purchase there. I had over 25€ of olives and rich foods on five brochetas (sticks).
