El Rastro

El Rastro is the biggest damn flea market I’ve ever seen.  For about 10 city blocks streching in many directions, every inch of street space just west of the La Latina barrio is packed with Madridrilenos selling and buying pretty much every and anything.  My favortites were (see photos) Rubber Band Man and Tape Guy.  You look down sidestreets and there are specialties - one side street will be all electronics stands, another will be Anarchist politics….lots of fun, we finished in La Latina drinking many Tino el Berano and eating tapas…
