María Jesús’ grocery stall, Vallehermoso Market

María Jesús has had her own market stall for 20 years—a good old-fashioned grocery stand—where it is just as easy to find a can of beans as some olives. All served with a smile.

Vallehermoso Market is a feature of Madrid's Chamberí neighborhood. Since 1933, it has maintained the same philosophy it had when its doors first opened: to offer quality products. Now it operates under a new structure where visitors can not only shop, but also go for tapas, lunch, or dinner in its wide range of eateries.
