El Rastro it's Madrid's famous Flea market. Something really unique to do on holidays and weekly, every Sunday is to take a stroll around the Rastro which occupies a fairly large area (several blocks and streets on parallel to Toledo Street. It's best to get there no later than 12noon as all vendors are required to shut down by 2PM and it can take several hours to walk the entire area.

One very important detail: Beware of pickpockets everywhere and anywhere during your Madrid stay but especially in crowded areas like El Rastro Flea Market
