El Rastro Valencia

Find what you want at the flea market

"This trunk of memories is not only for passionate collectors looking for valuable antiques but also for the public who want to travel in time and recall old memories from their childhood"

In a world where we are increasingly aware of the impact that the ecological footprint has on the environment, recycling and reusing are fashionable without a doubt.

Not far from the beach, in park Amelia Chiner, situated in Avenida dels Tarongers, you can find the most popular flea market in Valencia or “rastro” as we call it in Spanish. Easy reachable by tram (stop Beteró) or bus (stop Lluís Peixo-Taronger), this trunk of memories is not only for passionate collectors looking for valuable antiques but also for the public who want to travel in time and recall old memories from their childhood, youth or find that unique piece that reminds the lives of their parents or grandparents. Furniture, clothes, books, magazines, artworks, old cameras, bikes, toys, and all kinds of bizarre objects can be hidden gems for those who are searching for good opportunities.

Open every Sunday from 9 am to 2 pm, don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in the history and culture of the city by exploring this unusual place.
