Rastro

Every Sunday from 9am, hundreds of stalls situate themselves around the Calle Ribera de Curtidores creating Rastro, one of the most famous markets in Madrid, where thousands of locals and foreigners go to buy all sorts of clothes, both first and second hand.

 

To those who like to walk, going for a nice stroll and enjoying the culture of a place, you should visit Rastro because it is, undoubtedly, one of the busiest places frequented by locals.

 

The market is situated in a triangular area in between the streets of Toledo, Embajadores and Ronda de Toledo and the most important part is situated in the centre of the Plaza de Cascorro.

 

In the Calle Ribera de Curtidores you can find many handmade things such as clothes or antiques. The Calle San Cayetano is known for its painters who sell their works in the place. In the Plaza del General Vara del Rey you can find, mainly, furniture and second hand clothes and, finally, in Calle Rodas there are antiques.

 

Without doubt, Rastro is an ideal place in Madrid to go for a walk with family and/or friends to buy things at a really affordable price. You can get accommodation in Madrid and not let the chance to get to know it escape you.
