Fodor's Review:
Far from the tourist trail, the sheltered Mercado de las Pulgas (Flea Market) is packed with furniture on its second (or third or fourth) time round. You won't come across any Louis XV in the warren of stalls, but original pieces from the 1940s, '50s, and '60s may turn out to be bargain investments. Lighting up your life is also a cinch: choose from the many Venetian-glass chandeliers, or go for a chrome-and-acrylic mushroom lamp. If your taste is more rustic, there's also a sizeable selection of hefty farmhouse-style tables and cabinets in oak and pine. Don't be deceived by the stalls' precarious-looking set-up: vendors are used to dealing with big-name local customers and can often arrange overseas shipping.
