Mercado de Vallehermoso, Municipal market in Chamberí district, Madrid, Spain.
Mercado de Vallehermoso is a two-story market building in the Chamberí district housing numerous stalls with fresh produce, meats, fish, and dairy goods. The ground floor holds artisan food producers, while the upper level offers additional vendors and shopping areas.
Built in 1933 by architect Salvador Pérez Arroyo, the structure introduced modern design elements to Madrid's marketplace buildings. The construction reflected early 20th century approaches to combining function with contemporary building methods.
The market functions as a neighborhood gathering spot where regulars interact with vendors and each other over daily shopping. Local producers maintain connections with customers by selling directly from their own businesses on the ground floor.
The market sits at the corner of Vallehermoso and Fernando el Católico streets and is easy to locate and access. Visitors can find tasting areas and multiple vendors operating throughout the week.
The market sells specialized products from León and Ávila regions, including specific beans from Zafarraya and fruits from distant sources. This mix of local and far-away origins is unusual for a neighborhood market.
