El Rastro

El Rastro is the most famous flea market in the city. For bargain hunters and vintage junkies, it really is the place to come. This giant garage sale takes place on Sundays and bank holidays near the La Latina district, on and around the Calle de la Ribera. In addition to its second-hand stalls there are also lots of people selling original local arts and crafts, trinkets, paintings and antiques. Take a break in one of the tapas bars around the market to soak up the bustling atmosphere of the happy crowds.
