El Rastro, Historic flea market in La Latina district, Madrid, Spain
More than 3000 vendors line the streets around Ribera de Curtidores, selling antiques, clothing, leather goods, and vintage items every Sunday morning.
The market's name originates from the blood trails left by the city's first slaughterhouse in 1497, where cattle were transported to nearby tanneries.
The Sunday morning tradition brings together 100,000 visitors who combine shopping with the Spanish custom of sharing tapas and vermouths.
The market operates from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Sundays and public holidays, with most vendors accepting only cash payments.
Galerías Piquer houses rare antiques, while Tienda Hípica El Valenciano maintains its 120-year tradition of selling leather equestrian goods.
