El Rastro market in Madrid

We will be in Madrid in mid September on a Sunday. I’m wondering if anyone has tips or thoughts about visiting this market. Thanks!

It is an interesting street market, the neighborhood is worth a stroll and the market worth a visit. Not sure if there is much more to tell.

Beware of pickpockets.

The market is interesting, as least it was the last time I walked through it. I’m not sure what all you’ve read about it, but many of the vendors are selling the same type stuff as most flea markets. It’s not as it was when I first walked through it in 1978. If nothing else, it’s worth walking through to kill some time.
