Is El Rastro Flea Market worth it for nature lovers?
SkipFor nature
El Rastro Flea Market is the wrong stop for nature & scenery.
A centuries-old institution and a great window into Sunday Madrid: antiques, junk, leather, vinyl, then tapas and a vermouth in the bars after. The catch is it's only Sundays and holidays, much of the stock is cheap imports, and the crush is intense and a pickpocket's paradise.
