The plan draws Sector F where it no longer is, at El Rastro de Madrid

The city cartography every plan of El Rastro comes from is dated January 1, 2022. Two decrees of 2023 relocated the 300 stalls of Sector F, 13.7% of the market, and the later plans are in no open dataset. The result: the official plan draws 300 stalls where they no longer are.

What holds and what does not

The sector's number of stalls, its split by trade and its two streets still hold. Its exact position on the plan does not. The whole story, decree by decree, is on the Sector F page; the warning also appears on Calle Amazonas and on Plaza del General Vara del Rey.

About this page

A finding lands here when two documents from the same authority say incompatible things. The contradiction is published with its sources and the date it was checked, and nothing more: conclusions the documents do not give are not written.
