Flea Market Rastro Review

This just immerses you into culture and allows you to wander for 2 hours. You likely wont find anything g you want cause it's just like every other flea market in the whole world... but still cool

Every sunday worth a visit ! But get there early, because it can get very full of people

Good place for a Sunday morning and look for discontinued things .. but it has changed a lot. 15 years ago it was better

The trail is wonderful. Despite the years it maintains its essence.

A must in Madrid. Madrid people like to go from time to time although we almost always see the same things. Impossible to go home empty handed. Make "stop and fonda" in some of the classic bars that we found during the tour, also necessary.

Everyone thinks of El Rastro and associates it with Sundays. But during the week it still exists, with a large number of establishments that you can visit calmly (in these times of pandemic to take into account) and find that piece of furniture, object ... that you are looking for so much and that good professionals will advise you.

Iconic street market in Madrid. Great way to spend Sunday mornings in Madrid.

Good way to spend Sunday morning, you can find amazing things

So many people and confusion, little varied and sometimes superfluous goods. Absolutely personal judgment

I love the cachivaches area. It always surprises what you find and its prices. Bargaining essential.

Wide variety of products and very entertaining to watch. A bit expensive, though.

Very busy walk on Sunday morning. For fans of flea markets and trinkets possibly a highlight, but not really my thing ...

Typical and mythical place of Madrid. Tip: enter the streets parallel to the main street where you can describe magical places with multiple objects

Quite cute, good to see! Not much a young person might want to buy. Nice music.

Market that transforms the south of the central almond on Sundays. From Tirso de Molina to Ambassadors the streets are filled with stalls, street vendors and pedestrians willing to enjoy Sunday morning. Also some overnight. The plan closes tapas for La Latina. From the top 5 of Madrid.

Must see for any fans of flea markets. They have everything, including cooking supplies, clothing, toys, souvenirs, and much much more. The prices are obviously very reasonable, and even if you don't buy anything it's worth it to just walk around and appreciate the liveliness of the market. Make sure to get some water though, the Madrid sun can be very unforgiving!

Personally I dislike second hand and tourist crowded street markets

A must when you visit Madrid ... If you are not afraid of the world and bring good shoes

Throughout my life I have never seen such a large market, it is immense. You can find everything. Watch out for the bags and backpacks, a Spanish lady advised me to wear the backpack in front and not behind. If you are in Madrid, let us jump, it's really worth it.

Relatively large market with lots of handicrafts and old items

It has not changed in 20 years except to worsen the quality of positions. Otherwise, a great classic.

It is a mandatory stop if you go to Madrid and have the opportunity to visit it, you can find all kinds of things, from the newest to the oldest. Books, records, comics, clothes, cameras, furniture, clothes ... practically everything, and also all kinds of prices

Such an amazingly big market! I'm really happy I went, the downside was that is was soo crowded I could barely walk (visited end Septemer)

Few antiques and lots of stalls from any good. Sundays. Crowded. experience.

Biggest flea market I ever saw and it was so so nice for an easy sunday stroll

The most typical of Madrid you find things that you have never seen before spectacular people of all kinds

The most charming place in Madrid. It is essential if you come on vacation to stroll through their stalls and then have a good beer.

El Rastro de Madrid (or simply El Rastro) is an open-air market, originally of second-hand objects, which is assembled every Sunday and holiday mornings in a traditional neighborhood of the historic center of the capital of Spain.


El Rastro, with more than a quarter of a millennium of existence, has been regulating its existence and commercial activity. His fame is international.

It owes its name to the fact that the city's cattle slaughterhouses were there and, since it was in Cuesta la Ribera de Curtidores, the blood rolled down the street, leaving a "trail". Nowadays the slaughterhouses and tanners have been replaced by antique shops (one, two and three what you do not want, for the "Rastro" is)

Very interesting! You will find tons of different kinds of stuff. It gets pretty busy.

Amazing antique stores, it's easy to find a celebrity there

It's always fun to get lost around here and find different things

El rastro is the most popular open air flea market in Madrid.

Got mugged, be careful, lots of pick pockets around. Spent 2 hours at the police station with many other people who had been robbed too

Very large market where you can find everything from the new to the vintage to the used one.
Affordable prices ... it takes hours to turn it around.

El Rastro is an emblematic place in Madrid. Unfortunately the municipal leaders do not allow its opening despite being an open-air place where fewer infections occur and the generous offer of the vendors

Madrid flagship site that held only on Sundays and where you can find everything but no longer has the essence of yesteryear and the prices are normal street. There are still some old posts if worth

Fun place to check out Sunday morning. Don t expect high quality here but I did pick up a nice silk scarf from a nice lady. LOVE IT! Probably polyester but so are the more expensive ones from Bombay y Lola. can stroll through in an hour.

During the week, with very few people. Very comfortable.
There is everything in antiques.

Always fun full of people and very interesting things but eye pickpockets.

Sundays are too fun at El Rastro. an endless number of places where you can make purchases of all kinds, while you travel a whole path full of color and multiculturalism.

Huge huge huge market - on Sundays - with clothing, antiques, and everything in between. I spent about an hour walking around and then had to leave, but you can easily spend half a day there between the stands...

As a tourist experience this is a must see if you're in Madrid over the weekend. For the most part the goods on offer aren't very appealing - knock off Real Madrid kit etc - but there are some pockets of interesting antiques and vintage fashion. What you're really coming here to see is the sheer scale of the market and the crowd.

The largest flea market in Spain. It only works on Sundays. It is very interesting to walk along the numerous streets of this market. And here not only tourists, but also local residents.

The flea market without stalls and the people polluted by its streets is still one more corner of Madrid. There are many excellent corners in this great city ...

Classic in the classic of Madrid, every Sunday open the stalls of this market in Madrid, formerly it was for second-hand things and antiques. Now it is more a market selling clothes and souvenirs, with stalls of all ethnic groups living in the capital, still have to shop around.

A must see for those visiting Madrid on a Sunday! Opens early and fills quickly. Perfect to pick up all sorts of souvenirs for yourself and loved ones. Particularly, there are many vendors selling near-authentic futbol jerseys at much lower prices than at venues such as the Bernabeu. Not only is El Rastro massive, but it also conveniently located near other central landmarks and is therefore perfect to include when exploring the heart of the city.

It was so publicized but it is a bedlam market, so many people that they can't even stop and watch! Also what they sell junk! Obviously the business never happens to me !!!!

They have everything. Styles clothing, shoes, cages or accessories for animals, furniture, records ...

Apart from the fact that I was born there in the Rastro de Madrid, on Ribera de Curtidores street, it has a lot of costs, but the stalls with so many things are very curious, my mother always bought me something more beautiful souvenirs.

No me gusta este nuevo Rastro con tanto control de movimiento ,tan poquitos puestos y tanta norma.
Espero que poco a poco recupere su esencia.

Unfortunately it is only open on Sundays. To visit absolutely

A pity that they have removed the Sunday stalls ... They have removed the essence

Very large and little variety. Every 4 or 5 positions were repeated. Many people and difficult access because you have to go by subway and it is full

Shopping by walking!! Good & cheap product here. Extreme gathering. Lots of fun..

More advisable for taking the vermouth and taking a walk on Sunday than for its real ability to be a place to buy at a good price.

If you are in Madrid on a Sunday, it is a classic to stroll through El Rastro and its street vendors of all kinds.

market with the usual things you find in all nothing special markets

If you're in the market for some antiques, this is the place to go and explore. Bring some time since the choices and places are plenty.

An experience and not just Sunday. I love to go on Saturday.

Contains lots of peddlers, clothes all look right away 2, you can find reality or interesting stuff, takes at least 3 hours to go through it, works only on Sundays

great Sunday market that sprawls over a number of streets. head to the side streets and area in at the bottom of the hill for more unique and interesting finds

The oldest market in Madrid, full of stalls, antique shops and bars. Whatever you are looking for on the trail you will find it.

Beautiful flea market in open sky. The long avenue and especially for tourists and all souvenir items or trend. But the parallel streets are full of treasures. A huge flea market and nothing to discover if you do not know yet. Thank you to all the traders who support this weekly market.

Absolutely not to be missed for any tourist who is in Madrid on a Sunday morning. You can find everything and above all many non-trivial objects that are difficult to find elsewhere. We do business at generally low prices which in some cases become negligible.

Magnificent place Many people but ... it's the Madrid trail. Wonderful how much variety you find

A diverse place. You can find many things accompanied by music.

If you come from tourism to Madrid you must visit it as an experience, in the market you can find curiosities to useful things.

Caution should be exercised with wallets and mobiles. If you go around 11am there are too many people but if you go past noon it is a bit quieter and some things go down in price.

Towards the right side there are some expensive antiques but it is worth checking out which curious object may interest you.

Go well and see, do not expect an air-conditioned mall.

Very interesting place, although it comes alive during the market on Sunday, and so sleepily. I had the best coffee there in Spain, in a local cafe. We also watched various types of sculptures, fountains, garden mele and lots of other interesting "antiques".

Part of knowing Madrid at 100% goes through a visit to this market. Going on foot does not drive near because it is a waste of time. Park and walk.

Emptiness is not the trail, like a great man from Madrid because I had never seen him like this on a Sunday ...
