Madrid's vast flea market, El Rastro, reopened with a sigh of relief on Sunday with tightened security and fewer stalls, more than eight months after closing because of the coronavirus.

MADRID, - Madrid’s vast flea market, El Rastro, reopened with a sigh of relief on Sunday with tightened security and fewer stalls, more than eight months after closing because of the coronavirus.Visitor numbers, which can top 100,000 on a normal Sunday, were limited to 2,000 at a time, while stalls were spaced further apart and police stood at the entrances and exits to ensure people stuck to a one-way route around the market, held in the neighbourhoods of La Latina and Lavapies.

“This is my neighbourhood and El Rastro is part of us. We missed it a lot; it’s great to have it here again,” said pharmacist Nuria Ponce, 34. “I used to come every Sunday morning to sell at El Rastro, and not being able to was really bad for us,” he said. Records of the market date back to 1740, and these days you can pick up everything from jewellery and antiques to T-shirts and kitchenware.
