El Mercado de las Ranas is located in the famous Barrio de las Letras, in Madrid, located in the Centro district, is delimited by the Carrera de San Jeronimo to the north and Atocha street to the south. Its name is due to the literary wealth that this area received during the so-called Golden Age. In Spain during the Golden Age, authors such as Góngora or Lope de Vega at some point in their lives came to live there, that brings us to the origin of the name of the Mercado de las Ranas: the name "Mercado de las Ranas" (Frog Market) comes from the existence of Lope de Vega Street, the same street was called Cantarranas Street because it was near the orchards of the old and current monastery of San Jerónimo el Real, large puddles were formed in which many frogs settled there. established themselves there. About the AssociationReturning to the central theme, the Mercado de las Ranas could not be possible without the dedication and effort of the project's initiative organization, in this case is executed by La Asociación de Comerciantes, Autónomos y Pequeñas Empresas del Barrio de las Letras (The Association of Traders, Self-Employed and Small Businesses of the Barrio de las Letras).

To see more I leave this video on Youtube created by the same Merchants Association: How to get to the BARRIO DE LAS LETRAS? There are several ways both by metro/cercanías and by bus. If you go by metro, you will need to get off at line 1 (Antón Martín/Estación del Arte/Sol), line 2 (Sol) or line 3 (Sol).
