Charity market in Madrid's literary quarter selling donated books, clothing, and antiques. Proceeds fund scholarships for children with learning difficulties.
Fundación Aprender Solidarity Market is a charity market on Calle de Cervantes 13 in Madrid's Barrio de las Letras. It runs Monday, Thursday and Friday from 11:00 to 19:00, and Saturday, Sunday and public holidays from 11:30 to 19:30, closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Everything sold is donated, and all proceeds fund scholarships for children who need specialised educational evaluations and intervention programmes at Centro de Evaluación e Intervención Corat.
What you'll find at Fundación Aprender Solidarity Market
You'll find second-hand books, art, clothing, furniture, toys, kitchenware, decorative objects and handmade goods, all of it given rather than bought in. Stock changes with whatever has come through the door, so each visit turns up something different. It's pet-friendly, and it takes cash, contactless cards and mobile payments.
Where to stay in Madrid
Staying in central Madrid keeps the market within walking distance. Hotel Vincci Soho is a smart, well-located option, or try Lavapiés for more local character and an easy walk to Calle de Cervantes.
For a classic choice, Hotel NH Collection Madrid Gran Vía sits on Gran Vía with transport links to the rest of the city.

What day is Fundación Aprender Solidarity Market open?
Fundación Aprender Solidarity Market opens Monday, Thursday and Friday from 11:00 to 19:00, and Saturday, Sunday and public holidays from 11:30 to 19:30, closing every Tuesday and Wednesday. Unlike most Madrid street markets it runs five days a week rather than a single morning, at Calle de Cervantes 13.
What can you buy at Fundación Aprender Solidarity Market?
Fundación Aprender Solidarity Market sells donated second-hand goods: books, clothing, furniture, toys, kitchenware, artwork, antiques and handmade items. The selection rotates with whatever has been donated that week, so there is no fixed stock list, and prices stay low because nothing on the tables was bought in for resale.
Where does the money from Fundación Aprender Solidarity Market go?
All money taken at Fundación Aprender Solidarity Market goes to Fundación Aprender, which funds scholarships for children with learning difficulties. Those scholarships pay for specialised educational evaluations and intervention programmes at the Centro de Evaluación e Intervención Corat, so the price of a second-hand book goes straight into a child's assessment.
Is there a second-hand market in Madrid?
Yes, Fundación Aprender Solidarity Market on Calle de Cervantes 13 sells donated second-hand books, clothing, furniture and antiques five days a week, Monday and Thursday to Sunday. Other second-hand and general markets across the city are listed on Madrid's street markets page.
