Madrid offers a wide range of supermarket chains and local shops to cater to every budget and taste. From discount stores like DIA, Carrefour Express, Lidl and Aldi, to more upscale options like El Corte Inglés Supermercado, residents and visitors have many options. The traditional Mercados Municipales and local specialty shops like fruterías and panaderías are great for fresh and regional products. Most of these stores are located throughout the city's central neighborhoods, but larger hypermarkets like Carrefour and Alcampo tend to be more on the outskirts or in large shopping centers.
Mercados Municipales are local markets with multiple vendors selling fresh produce, meat, seafood, cheeses, and other goods. They offer a traditional shopping experience and are popular with locals who prefer fresh, locally sourced foods, some of them Mercado de San Miguel near Plaza Mayor, Mercado de San Antón in Chueca district and Mercado de la Paz in Salamanca district.
