Market of Markets
On-site with limited capacity
The aim of the festival is to promote and enhance the role of Barcelona’s characteristically Mediterranean food markets as drivers of urban development, promotion of local products and social cohesion. The goal is to make the values that the markets encompass clear to the public: markets as suppliers of fresh, quality, sustainable and local produce, linked to healthy eating and the Mediterranean diet, staffed by experts in these products, and urban spaces which are both a meeting point and which transmit culinary culture.
The gastronomic world will be represented through spaces offering samples of tapas created both by up-and-coming and experienced chefs and the bars and restaurants of the markets involved, with typical products from the country. A direct example of the use of market products in cooking to generate relationships between restaurant and market professionals.
With the aim of bringing the public closer to the know-how behind the use of market products and gastronomy, the fair will also have activity spaces open to those attending with a programme covering the whole schedule of the festival, with cultural events and a broad offering of workshops for all ages.
The public will have three days to discover and enjoy the market products and local tapas created by chefs from some of the best restaurants from across Catalonia and the markets involved.
