In all, 18 standalone pitches, 1 mercadillo and no municipal market hall: 19 puntos selling on public streets, 1.3% of the city's pitches.

Where it falls in the city

The map, framed on Barajas: every point is a pitch, colored by what it sells (18 of the district's 18 can be placed; the rest carry no exact address), circles are street markets and squares are market halls. The rest of the city, dimmed. A tap on a market pins its card.
