El Rastro Market
The most famous and oldest market in Madrid, probably well-known to Chinese people thanks to Sanmao. Every Sunday at 9 AM, hundreds of stalls are set up in Cascorro Square. You can bargain with the vendors if you find something you like, but be vigilant and watch out for pickpockets.
The Antique Toy Market (Mercado del Juguete Antiguo) has been held since 1997. Initially, it was simply a place for trading antique and old toys, but it gradually evolved into a venue for toy collectors to showcase and exchange their collections. It is now held at the La Ermita Shopping Center (Centro Comercial La Ermita), where you can find many memories from your childhood.
