Flea Market Rastro Reviews

Small local When the good weather comes they take out a "vegan terrace"
The menu of the day is recommended, but do not miss the burgers (in particular the "red lion" and "gossip girl"), or desserts are the best!
Juices and smoothies are also noteworthy

Really crowded which is good I guess but it made me want to get out fast. Lots of clothing, some leather and tapestries. Small amount of antiques.

A fair with a lot of diversity, but I did not find the prices attractive.

Essential visit of Madrid Sundays.
Stalls and shops where the most curious things are always found.
My favorite area; the Plaza del Campillo del Mundo Nuevo, where cards are changed.
Throughout the week the stores are obviously open, there are many mountain things and antique dealers, for example.

I love this site! For its environment, its location, and of course for everything you find!

On Sundays, if you go to this place and traditional surroundings of Madrid soon, you can find real bargains, such as antiques, clothes, ... interesting musical activities and performances are performed

An emblematic place and identity of Madrid. For tourists it is a must. You find everything.

An emblematic place in Madrid a lot of variety you find clothes towels briefcases good faucet is everything up to the unthinkable especially to travel the streets and take some reeds very well

I expected something else, very repetitive stalls and little variety. Typical and well-known market, many people

A must of Madrid. Forced to pause for vermouth. You can find everything to buy.

A very picturesque tianguis, you find everything and at very cheap prices, it's very big! Start off the subway station and continue several blocks down! Clothes, toys, shoes, jewelry, there are used and new things. You could lose all day there seeing and buying 100% recommended.

Traditional flavor, and ideal ambience in the capital of the world

Great place but beware of pick pockets. I lost my money there while I was listening to a band play.

Essential market in Madrid.

Changing and at the same time, I have been traveling since I was a child and it always seems to me that it remains in a very similar state.

Necessary place of visit on a Sunday morning for the express visitor, ideal for a gift or some furniture or vintage decorative element for the house.

The lower part always full of antique dealers, current survivors of their own bubble, reminds me a lot of the San Telmo area in Buenos Aires

A very spacious place. It has a variety of appliances. With pleasure.

Honestly, it didn't seem like much, more than anything else is a junk. A little style brings Portese to Rome, but more touristic, more limited, with much less business opportunities

I do not know whose fault the city council or the posts will be but they have killed him

World famous. Better go calm, and early. It is usually filled to the brim. You can find everything: bargains, bargains, worthless garbage, opportunities, books, furniture, various pots ... It is worth spending.

A big Sunday flea market in the city but nothing special.

So many things to see and you can never reach the end. If you wanna see the Spanish culture, you should definitely visit this place

Typical place in Madrid that you cannot miss. To have a good time eating some tapas, peppers and wine.

Nice but too crowded and definitely beware of pickpocketing

A good place to observe, to enjoy ... But beware, always with eyes very attentive to any maneuver.

Antiques, crafts and lots of vintage clothing! Local DIY clothing and great churros!

A beautiful flea market where you can easily spend a few hours - not only because of the variety of the goods on offer, but above all because of the enormous expansion of the market, which extends across the entire district. Everything is on offer: clothing (from T-shirts with a band logo to leather jackets and Levi's (for 10 euros, of course original) to flamenco dress), antiques, scrap metal, vinyls, books, picture frames and and and ...

Great market, lots of products but mostly imports. Huge selection of t-shirts, phone cases and accessories. The place itself is beautiful, lots of greenery and nice people. Unfortunately no street food but many restaurants nearby. Really recommend looking around, don't just rush it. Walk around have a look, talk to people.

Place full of history in Madrid.
To buy and sell antiques on the spot.
If you are going to be with a thousand attentive eyes and very good place to let you take care and rediscover this wonderful city that is Madrid.

Full, cheap and with leather goods that is only there!

An ideal place to buy second-class items with a lot of variety and good prices.
a lot of people in some streets and it's overwhelming

Very practical, probably the best trail in the world

Fantastic! A flood of food and wine stalls are spoiled for choice

Fun to walk through all the shops and see the variety of items sold. From books, old electronics, dolls, clothes through to bird cages, utensils, and records.

A delicious morning. It has everything there. Until flirting. I liked the price and quality of the porcelain. In one of the corners very cold beer and wonderful tapas. I want to revisit this fair every time I go to Madrid.

I like the lively hustle and bustle of the Trail on Sunday, but I enjoy its crowd of antique dealers a lot more

An interesting flee market with lots of good gifts you can buy. I reccomend going kind of early as it gets super packed. A lot of the stuff is generic tourist stuff but there are some amazing stalls too like handmade leather bags or artistic leather mask (see photos).

As always a peculiar place to visit. Variety of articles and variety of states of the same. It is essential to visit the street of the antiques.
On the other hand, always keep a purse, purses, backpacks, wallets and mobiles. All well guarded, since we neglect and pickpockets make their August in these agglomerations. In this way the visit will take place without dislikes.

Excellent option to spend Sunday in Madrid. You can find some treasure and then enjoy the traditional vermouth and tapas in its bustling bars.

Place picturesque and interesting to visit Madrid in the history of the site. You can find almost everything here. Formerly it was a fair where they sold meat and other things, but today is a fair where you can meet the most diverse products. Antiques, crafts and most clothing and accessories.

Very good and extensive offer, however there are too many people, you can barely walk

ugly.
quoted in all the guides but is reduced only to a lot of junk and garbage.
It will also be a historic institution of Madrid but nowadays it has really lost any kind of charm ...
if you have a few days stay in Madrid, this is an attraction that does not deserve!

Largest flea market in Madrid, where you can occasionally find bargains.

Amazing finds! We went a bit bonkers and bought loads of stuff

Emblematic place in Madrid. Anyone who wants to enjoy buying something special should stop by here. I recommend it

Loved the place, wil sure go back when we Visit Madrid again

If you are in Madrid on a Sunday morning, do not miss it! Well worth a walk and meet the people on the trail. Then you can cover the area at a reasonable price

Classic flea market with used furniture, clothes, knickknacks and many other things.
Anyway to see

Very characteristic of Madrid. A unique experience. It closes at 2:30 pm although in some pages they mention at 3:30 pm

Not opened due to the circumstances of the Coronavirus.

Nothing really amazing that worth the whole hassle to be walking on those busy streets

Cool flea market on sundays near La Latina, just be careful with pickpockets and thieves. Loads of handmade things where you can always find something for your individual taste. Many stands with products from different parts of the world give this place a very peculiar vibe. You can also find bits of antiques and various second hand decorations.

Fair with a multicultural environment. Tourist spot not to be missed on a visit to Madrid.

I always liked it. For me it's like going back in time and you can also find everything ... I love it

Fun, musical, special to find a lot of things and spend the morning of Sunday.

There are people who wait for them to open it ... but there are Antiquarian stores with thousands of things

I went early, 9:30am on a rainy Sunday. Started at the top, not crowded. I've been to global, flea markets in several countries & this was below average quality/variety. But, unique antiques & small items sold on side streets.

Wear a hidden, money belt under a loose shirt. Keep $10 to $15 in small bills/coins in a zippered, coat pocket. Download Google translate for key phrases. Learn numbers 1 to 20 in Spanish. So, you can bargain.

Before you handover a bill, repeat the last agreed upon price. Give the bill, after they make change. 1 vendor tried to cheat me, I pointed it out & he reluctantly gave the correct change.

Sunday mornings were perfect (before the covid) to spend the morning with friends or with your partner to be messing around with what is moving in Madrid. It is essential to have a bermout in a nearby bar ...

You can not spend a Sunday in Madrid without knowing this world ..
Excellent Tostas that are eaten around.

If you are lucky enough to be in Madrid on a Sunday, you should make a point of visiting El Rastro flea market, which dates from medieval times. You'll be sure to find more than you could possible carry home.

Market with a lot of things from clothes, jewelry, art, bags. Would recommend if you have time. Try to get there early as it can get very crowded.

I love it, I go often and I have always found very interesting things. Especially antiques

It is the main flea market of Madrid, and interestingly situated almost at the centre of Madrid. It can be reached by several metro lines. Metro stations Latina are most suitable. The flea market sits every weekends. The area also has many permanent antique shops. It is an interesting experience to roam around the place. There are many good bar and restaurant in the area as well.

Although there are many people worth going. Good atmosphere, selling everything you can imagine.
It is very curious.

To buy rare and unusual souvenirs from Spain, there is no better place. And the atmosphere prevailing in the most famous flea market of Madrid is impressive. Spanish national color reigns here in "full growth" ... Here you can buy a wide variety of goods (from antique plates and fans to antique furniture ...). In the antique shops, if you look closely, you can find funny little things. More than a thousand merchants, along with tens of thousands of buyers (they say that this "flea market" is the largest in Europe ...) on weekends and holidays, are participants
a bewitching thematic shopping show performance ... According to one legend, a trail (the designation of the word el retro) once passed from a slaughterhouse to a tannery ... It s simply impossible to go here.

Closed by municipal decision from March they are with the idea of dismantling it due to exhaustion of the vendors they are ruining a city council more concerned with works and than in normal people

It did not coincide with what I imagined! If we find some interesting places!

Very nice and authentic place , lot of shops , just amazing
