El Rastro Flea Market
El Rastro
A centuries-old open-air flea market held on Sundays, where you can browse antiques, secondhand goods and street-side bars until midday.
Held on Sundays and public holidays from roughly 09:00 to 15:00 in the La Latina district, along Ribera de Curtidores Street and nearby streets, with over a thousand stalls selling antiques, vinyl records, old books, clothing and souvenirs. After browsing, grab tapas at the bars on Cava Baja Street in La Latina, a Sunday tradition for Madrileños. The crowds are dense and it is a hotspot for pickpockets, so keep valuables close to your body. It is a short walk from La Latina or Tirso de Molina metro stations.
