It is a street market in Ribera de Curtidores street, you can go there on Sunday morning from 7 to 2 am.
There are normal clothes stands, but if you search you can find antiques squares full of romanticism, old books stores, fancy dresses, hippy and alternative people.
Hare Krisna use to sing there sometimes their songs, lot of people very different mixed searching for very different thigs! Is not dangerous, althought is better if you have your thigs under control.
