After last year’s success, the market of the Crystal Gallery (Montalban Street, number 1) returns with more than twenty stalls of clothes, books, furniture, antiques, jewelry and objects of all kinds to give this Christmas. Admission to the enclosure costs 6 euros, and all proceeds will go to young people who have grown up in troubled families and live in foster homes or emancipation apartments.
From Thursday, November 14 to Sunday, November 17, the Rastrillo Nuevo Futuro will have solidarity stands of designers (Ponte & Co., by Laura Ponte) and local companies (Almoneda de Conde Duque) from 11:00 to 20:00 hours. In addition, every day there will be meetings with writers and celebrities who will sign their new books.

The Rastrillo has had solidarity values since its beginnings: for more than thirty Christmases it has been bringing together major design firms – such asAgatha Ruiz de la Prada, Pertegaz or Mimoki –at the Cibeles Palace to help the most vulnerable sector of the population: minors in adverse situations. Asociación Nuevo Futuro, the market’s organizer, managed to help 1,489 children and young people with the funds raised in 2023.
