Rules of El Rastro de Madrid

Ceramic money boxes on a stall at El Rastro de Madrid

2000 ordinance · 41 BOAM documents · €271.20 a year in fees

El Rastro runs on an ordinance twenty-six years old whose fines are still in pesetas, is billed through a city fee the ordinance leaves as rates per meter and month, with no annual figure, and is approved every year in a bulletin where in eleven years not a single objection is on record. These pages lean on the original documents alone, and say where every figure comes from.
