10 Flea & Street Markets in Madrid That You Shouldn't Miss

September 3, 2021 Nicolette Lion

So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

A walk with lots of art and without entering a museum. We enjoy seeing the exhibition and getting to know the artists, it is very nice and you can ask and order the painting you want.

Mercado San Miguel

High quality culinary adventures abound in this wholesale food market, now one of the most important in Europe. Besides eating on-site, you can buy wrapped and canned food, as well as bottles of wine.

One of my favourite places in Madrid (also, one of my favourite European cities!) Just off from Plaza Mayor, this building has been upgraded from the old market hall and is now a modern and buzzing meeting place for locals and tourists alike! Full of small "stalls" that sell all kinds of food, drink and gifts/treats. Tables where you can stand and enjoy your purchases and enjoy this magnificent place. Go and spend a couple of hours there and soak up the incredible atmosphere and its such a great place for people watching. Cannot be beaten for a taste of real Spain!

Mercado de Anton Martin

Reviewed By TrueTexasTraveler - Amarillo, United States

This is not a tourist market, rather a true market for folks living in the area. There is an amazing selection of olives, meats, fruit, vegetables, fish, olive oil and even offal like pig ears and snouts. It's a wonderful experience if you're vising Madrid and want to shop like a local, or just want to go pick out some foods you wouldn't think to get unless you stumbled upon them.

This market is where the locals of the Salamanca district come to shop for wonderful foods, There are all sorts of meats, fish, fruits and vegetables, and cheeses that are sold here. You can also buy tapas and the like for a wonderful and tasty lunch. I believe the market has been in operation for well over 100 years. If you are in the neighborhood, then this market is a do not miss site to visit.

El Rastro

Flea market lovers flock to this large open-air market every Sunday. From rock band memorabilia to second-hand goods to food stands and live music, this market has it all.

Reviewed By carenb_MA - Westford, United States

Had a great time walking thru the market, and couldn't resists a few more pairs of earrings and some pottery. There is quite a mix of items for sale, from old junk, records, books, clothing, pottery, jewelry, scarves, and tourist stuff. Some vendors take credit cards, but many do not, so have cash on hand (The ATM was a long walk away). If you are there on a Sunday, do not miss it.
