Not really for tourists. Vendors will offer outrageous prices and aren't really interested in selling to you. Very crowded. Bring your own lunch. Enjoy the street musicians.

Pretty standard flee market. There are tons of vendors and some nice places to snack in restaurants that border the vendors. If you're on a tight schedule, I would skip it.

Very great big open market, it goes for long. Lots of people in the weekend, nice old, vintage original stuff, even vintage clothing and furniture and all kind of things, lots of good finds for collectors of old stuff. Coins, old photos, toys, posters. And great traditional food as well, street shows, music. A must in Madrid.

Fun although very touristy experience. There's no need to buy anything but there's quite a lot of stuff available so it is quite possible that you'll leave the market with at least something. Bring cash in smaller notes. Contrary to what you might think of an internationally famous market there really isn't a lot cultural products bring sold here. There's loads of poorly printed music and movie merch she lots of Indian style blankets and carpets.

One of the largest flea markets in Madrid. Good to walk around, have a look to ramdon stuff and enjoy a drink in one of the bars near by. Totally recommendable for locals and tourists.
