Street markets in Madrid (mercadillos) are an important part of city life and one of the most interesting ways to see the Spanish capital beyond the main tourist routes. Dozens of open-air markets regularly take place across the city and the Community of Madrid — from the famous El Rastro on Sundays to small neighbourhood markets where locals do their shopping.
Here you can find clothing, vintage items, antiques, farm products, fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as household goods. Since most markets operate only on specific days of the week and during certain hours, it is most convenient to follow the schedule — this helps you choose the right mercadillo and plan your visit in advance.
