Introduction to the gastronomic event in Barcelona: Mercat de mercats
Are you a fan of street market? Do you like sustainable food? Are you in Barcelona from October 21th and October 23rd? Then we have a perfect plan for you.
From Friday 21th until Sunday 23rd Barcelona is going to be the home of the world famous Mercat de Mercats (Market´s Market). In Barcelona and throughout Catalunya, food markets are a feature of everyday life. Why shop in a supermarket where the food arrives on the shelf after a long process of transportation and storage when you can eat fresh and local fruit, vegetables, meat and fish? Markets are also often the focus of a community, a place to bump into neighbors, chat, or drink a coffee in a bar. In this sense they offer much more than just shopping, but are part of Catalan life and culture. Markets such as La Boqueria de Sant Josep on Les Rambles have become famous globally in recent years
The Gastronomy Festival par excellence is celebrating this year a new edition.
