Ready to explore the historic heart of Madrid? In this Poco A Poco episode, we look at the origins and evolution of El Rastro, Madrid’s oldest open-air flea market. We discuss the surprising history behind its name, the early days of tanners and rag-pickers, and its growth into a cultural landmark. You'll hear about how the market is organized today, from the bustling stalls of Plaza de Cascorro to the antique shops of Galerías Piquer. Grab a coffee and join us as we share what to expect on a Sunday morning so we can navigate this neighborhood tradition together, poco a poco.
