Centro is Madrid's segundo district in ice cream and cold drinks pitches: 18 stalls, 5 fewer than Retiro, which is first.
In all, 98 standalone pitches, 4 mercadillos and 6 municipal market halls: 108 puntos selling on public streets, 7.0% of the city's pitches.
The map, framed on Centro: every point is a pitch, colored by what it sells (58 of the district's 98 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.
The 98 pitches of Centro by type, in the colors of the map. The largest, the ONCE, is 31.6% of the district and 7.4% of everything Madrid authorizes of that type.
Of those 98, 64 are still authorized or on extension and the other 34 are split between 25 vacantes and 9 anulados. A pitch is a permit, not always an open stall.
The streets with the most pitches are Plaza Lavapiés (7), Calle Atocha (6) and Calle Gran Vía (5), of the 48 that appear in the file.
Of the 33 street markets in the city dataset, 4 fall in Centro; of the 45 municipal market halls, 6. Which is open now, with its hours, is on the map of Madrid.
El Rastro is in this district, in the Embajadores neighborhood, and it is the biggest street market in Madrid with 1,200 declared stalls. It does not appear in the count above because its own record carries a broken district, one of the six in the dataset. This whole site is its entry: its 18 streets and its trades have pages of their own.
The nearest by the center of their street selling, which is not the same as sharing a border.
City data (300615 for the pitches, 202105 for the street markets, 200967 for the market halls), checked on August 23, 2026. Of the 98 pitches of Centro, 58 can be placed on the plan. The file writes the street without its particle, so it reads "Glorieta Puerta de Toledo" here where the street index gives the full name. Where every figure comes from, in data.
