The Internet is a great way of making handy information very public indeed! It's easy enough to find this page (you've just proved that) and it could easily become an information exchange point in the life of the area's Rastros and occasional markets. All genuine events will receive unbiased publicity ...for free! Just click here.
Rastros are peculiar things - the publicity surrounding them is almost non-existent. They can (and have) changed location with no prior notice and a purely local saint's day can close one for just a week. Ex-pat home owners, setting up house, would definitely benefit from the opportunity of a good rummage around
one of these venues …and it’s so easy to be oblivious to the existence of rastros.
The information on my web site is about to enter a new phase. This page is short on descriptions of rastros ...because you can watch a video, copy and paste the GPS and get up the Google Maps location. Need anything more? Start you own bloody web site!
I have never been certain whether proper street markets are legal, on a Sunday. The previous attempt at a mercadillo was not far from this newer site and closed down for ‘legal reasons’ that I never got to the bottom of. Every Sunday Morning.

I suppose I ought to plead guilty to a spot of overkill on a rastro that is probably no longer than 350 meters (at the time of recording). I didn't count the number of stalls -- but you can have loads of fun trying to work it out for yourself. Every Sunday Morning

Another virtual tour, a boots-on-the-ground video made especially so you can see what a venue is like ...before you decide to go there. At the time of uploading, this was a modest rastro, nice location, room for growth and plenty of potential for this. Parking a BIT of a problem if you mind walking

It's back! It's been back for about six months and away for about eight years. Not as big as it used to be ...not yet, anyway. Well worth a visit. Take a 'look-before-you-go trip with this video.
