Madrid's Best Thrift Stores Second-Hand Shops And Flea Markets

Madrid is the perfect place to find a cool second-hand outfit, antique books, vintage home furnishings or retro toys. Here’s a list of the best flea markets, second-hand shops and thrift stores in Madrid where you can hunt for original and unique items.

1. Market at Plaza Dos De Mayo

Market, Spanish

If it’s vintage electronics, photos, records or books you’re hunting for, try the unofficial market which takes place on Saturdays in spring/summer in the Plaza Dos de Mayo. Locals will set up stands in the plaza and feel free to barter for a better price on the goods. Keep in mind that some vendors only come here sporadically, so if you find something you truly can’t live without, it may be best to buy it there and then. Chances are, next time, you may not see the same stands set up.

2. The 2nd Room

Shop, Store

Shopping second-hand can be double the fun

If you want designer items but can’t pay designer prices, head to the 2nd Room – a carefully curated second-hand shop that carries one-of-a-kind pieces from high-end designers such as Dior, Louboutin, Gucci, Armani and more. The shop also carries exclusive pieces from designer F de Frank and soon plans to introduce its own line of special occasion dresses. Shopping here is a very personal experience as the stylish owner, Mariele Isidoro, is on hand to help you select that perfect piece.
