La Tabacalera
An abandoned tobacco factory turned into a huge Berlin-like alternative art space driven by the diverse locals of Lavapies district. Also free workshops daily. Nice big cheap outdoors terrace. It is hoped that the closure is temporary and that it will return in a reduced form after works, check website for current situation.

All-vegan restaurant that doesn't compromise on flavor, a good place to try vegan versions of Spanish tortilla and croquetas.

El Rastro
C/ Ribera de Curtidores, s/n
Madrid's largest flea market, featuring rows upon rows of private vendors selling a variety of homemade goods, and a plethora of live entertainment. Many - but by no means all - stores along the side streets also open Sunday morning and some of the stores offer truly bizarre stuff, mostly in the realm of "antiques", used or second hand stuff of various kinds. The Rastro is notorious for having an abundance of pickpockets, so watch your handbag closely and do not bring along valuables.
