El Rastro
Each Sunday El Rastro, a gigantic flea market situated in the lavapiès district between the "ambajadores" streets, attracts several thousand people. The enormous garage sale offers a hodge-podge of goods: a mixture of clothing, videocasettes, CD's, DVD's, magazines, hardware, and many picture frames. Anything can be found at el rastro. If it is authentic antiques that one is looking for they can be found just beyond the statue of Cascorro, and in the stores located to the side of the street. Shoppers will find beautiful furniture, paintings, and other antiques there. These stores are open all week; so think about going back when it's a bit less hectic during the weekend. Given the gigantic size of the rastro it is definitely worthwhile to go with an idea in mind of what one wants in order to navigate effectively through the crowds. Keep an eye on bags, cameras, and belongings. Even if there are a lot of police around, crafty pickpockets are just waiting for unsuspecting tourists.
