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.

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.

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.
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.
