Municipal Market of the Mostenses
Behind the Gran Vía, and inside a building with a rationalist air, inhabits a market that has grown naturally large
...The Mostenses market is a living organism where the essential alternates - a wide range of fresh products at very competitive prices - with the unpredictable: a grocery store of Korean products, a Chinese mending machine or an Iranian caviar dispensary.
Spread over three floors or located at street level, the more than one hundred market stalls cover a wide spectrum of the food business -with a large representation of Latin American and Oriental gastronomy- and offer a variety of services -hairdressing, reprography, florist-, in addition to have a floor reserved for offices. The history of the market runs parallel to that of the Gran Vía itself.
Before the inauguration of the current building, the market had seen another nearby location, on the site on which the Azul cinema would later be built. The pickaxe carried off the old Los Mostenses market, during the construction of the third section of the Gran Vía (1925), and it was not until 1946 that the square once again had its supply center
