Guzmán el Bueno Market

About Guzmán el Bueno Market

This underground market on Andrés Mellado street has operated since 1951 and was fully renovated in 2005 with modern granite surfaces and improved lighting. Located in the Gaztambide neighborhood of Chamberí, it stays open until 11pm Thursday through Saturday.

The market combines traditional vendors like butchers and fishmongers with an unusual Japanese pastry shop. This is reportedly the only Japanese bakery in the neighborhood, making it a unique stop for locals.

You'll find the entrance at number 43 Calle de Andrés Mellado, though the underground location means it's not immediately visible from street level. The two-level structure houses market stalls on the ground floor and an Ahorramás supermarket upstairs.

Reviewers mention the market has become popular for after-work drinks on Thursdays and weekend social gatherings. The communal seating area allows you to eat food purchased from various stalls.
