In this flea market, the stalls are not on the street or in a square: they are inside an old train station and surrounded by historic wagons. We are talking about the Engine Market, which is being held this weekend at the Railway Museum.
The event brings together more than 150 vendors, among which you can find antiques, illustrations, books, vintage fashion, crafts and even gourmet products.
It is held next to the Delicias station and admission is free with prior reservation. It will be open from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm on Saturday and from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm on Sunday. There will also be creative workshops for the whole family and outside there will be foodtrucks and live music.
Local talent and unique pieces
At the Mercado de Motores you can find vendors and professionals from all kinds of disciplines: creators and designers, century-old businesses, new brands or stores that want to make themselves known beyond their neighborhood.
Inside the station, the stalls unfold among old locomotives and allow visitors to discover new items and awaken their creativity.
The art continues in the open-air area , where several musicians will offer free concerts. There will be a great variety, with bands, choirs and young talents. The program has already been published and will be as follows.
