El Rastro

El Rastro is a gigantic flea market in Madrid that attracts several thousand people. The streets of the entire area are filled with stalls selling just about every kind of goods you can imagine.

Specific items are sold in certain locations. Authentic antiques, furniture and paintings can be found just beyond the statue of Cascorro, and in the stores located to the side of the street. Your will also find bullfighters, flamenco dancers, musicians and other artists entertaining the crowd. There are several restaurants and food stalls where you can have tapas or buy a quick drink at a refreshment stall.

The rastro happens every sunday and has the feel of a traditional market in Spain. It can get crowded so visitors are advised to be aware of pick pockets and thieves. If you do not want to be a part of the crowd you can visit the rastro on a saturday where the crowds are less but so are the vendors.
