One of the markets most picturesque events held in Madrid, is the so-called Mineral Market located in the courtyard of columns (which alone is worth a visit) of the historic building of the School of Mines, to which we already dedicated one of our 365 days in Madrid. It is celebrated every Sunday, the first of the month, except for the month of August. The entrance is on Ríos Rosas Street number 21. Opening hours to the public are from 10 a.m. to 14 p.m. and entry is free. There you can learn about the news from the guild of mineral, fossil and gem merchants of Madrid

It is an unmissable event for fans of mineralogy, paleontology and gemology with a wide variety of minerals, fossils and gems from all over the world, but also suitable for any curious visitor, it is a fun way to learn about topics related to Sciences. from the earth.

You can take advantage of your visit to the market to visit the museum for free, the jewel of the building, located on the upper floor and if you want more, underground, for €2 per ticket, a unique experience in Madrid: the Marcelo Jorissen coal mine-museum.

You can find more information on the website of the Higher Technical School of Mining and Energy Engineers.

Put it in your diary and take advantage of the next opportunity you have to visit it.

A abrazo.
