About this data

City premises census, consulted in August 2026. The census does not classify the trade: nothing on this page says what a premises does, except for the 119 the city classifies separately as collectibles. How many stalls El Rastro has depends on who you ask; the count here is the ones drawn on the plan. Where every figure comes from, in data.
