>I spent a couple of days in Madrid with my son last week. The cultural

>El Rastro is the site of a large street market every Sunday and holiday, 
>but in mid-August, when half of Madrid's population is on the coast or in 
>the countryside, it was not particularly crowded. Lavapies is a low-income,
