This place sells second-hand records and tapes at ridiculously low prices. You'll see bands you've never heard of, but you might just pick up a bargain. And you have to be prepared to sort through their jumbled collection first.
The capital's best known street market, El Rastro fills up with people to the saturation point after noon, so if you want to wander around all the fascinating stalls in peace, you should arrive by 10a. You can stop for a drink or a bite neighboring cafés and then head for the Plaza de Cascorro, featuring the statue of Eloy Gonzalo, a Spanish soldier who challenged the Cubans in their war of Independence with just a tin of gasoline. Everything from clothes and furniture to house wares can be bought at this all encompassing market.
This unique shop is near Madrid's famous Rastro flea market and it stocks a huge selection of suede and leather garments from the 1960s and 70s, as well as unused and recycled old clothes. You'll find jackets, complete outfits, knitwear, bell-bottoms, T-shirts with cool designs, bomber jackets and a few accessories. Prices are low. You can get a nice leather jacket.
