Madrid Flea Market

El Rastro de Madrid is a long-established open-air street market in the centre of Madrid. It extends from Plaza de Cascorro along Ribera de Curtidores and adjoining streets in the Embajadores and La Latina neighbourhoods. The market is held every Sunday and on public holidays from approximately 09:00 to 15:00. According to municipal data, there are as many as 3,500 stalls in the regulated area. Goods on offer include second-hand items, antiques, clothing, vintage pieces and curiosities rather than fresh produce. The surrounding neighbourhood is one of Madrid’s historic quarters, and the market attracts a diverse mix of local shoppers, collectors, and visitors.

By metro: use Line 3 (Stations Embajadores or Lavapiés), Line 5 (La Latina or Puerta de Toledo) or Line 1 (Tirso de Molina or Sol). Numerous EMT bus lines serve the area (for example, lines 3, 17, 18, 23, 35, 41, 60, 148) and there is a Cercanías Renfe stop at Embajadores (C5).
