Madrid, Community of madrid
Mercadillo en Coslada covers six weekly outdoor street markets spread across this Henares Valley town east of Madrid, ranging from a 200-stall flea market to a small 15-stall antiques fair. There are no municipal market halls, so all trading takes place outdoors. Shoppers can find fresh produce, antiques, clothing, handicrafts, jewellery, and second-hand books across the different markets throughout the week.

Market days in Coslada
All six markets run on a weekly schedule, with El Cambalache Market also holding a dedicated session on the first Sunday of each month. This means Coslada effectively has market activity every day of the week at different locations across town. Checking the specific day for each market before you visit is worthwhile, as the fresh produce focus of the weekly market and the antiques character of El Cambalache suit very different purposes.
Coslada is served by Metro line 7 and sits close to Madrid-Barajas airport, making it straightforward to reach from central Madrid or neighbouring towns.

What to buy at Coslada's markets
The largest market in town is the Coslada Cambalache Flea Market, which draws around 200 stalls selling books and clothing. Its scale makes it the centrepiece of the local market calendar and worth a dedicated visit for bargain hunters. On the first Sunday of each month, the smaller El Cambalache Market sets up with just 15 stalls focusing on antiques, second-hand books, and clothing, offering a more curated browse for collectors.
The Coslada Weekly Market brings 100 stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, clothing, and footwear, making it the most practical option for everyday shopping. The Coslada Art and Craft Fair is the place to look for handmade goods, with 60 stalls dedicated to handicrafts, jewellery, and footwear. The Coslada Traditional Market adds cheese and dairy and prepared foods alongside handicrafts and jewellery, though its exact stall count is not published.
The remaining market, Coslada Municipal Street Market, runs weekly with 45 stalls covering clothing, footwear, handicrafts, and books.
