The best part about walking around a new city is running into a great place totally unexpected. I just love this joy of making a discovery on your own or with a friend. Christa and I decided to be touristy on Saturday and go around town on a double decker bus, which is great because you can get on and off these buses all day and see the whole city. So we stopped off near Plaza Mayor and ate lunch outside, in February! 
We strolled around afterwards and ran into this great market, Mercado de San Miguel. Turned out to be our favorite destination in Madrid. It had a fun atmosphere with so much going on and a lot to offer. You can order sangria, champagne, wine to sip on while you order breads, cheeses, meats, seafood, produce, chocolates, sweets, and much more. We enjoyed a fruity sangria followed by pistachio and vanilla walnut petits fours. So tasty! Had we not just eaten lunch at Plaza Mayor we would have gotten much more to eat I think... Next time! Mercado de San Miguel.
