Cooking and tasting in the heart of the city

An Encounter with Sustainability and Proximity Values

The aim of the fair is to highlight the importance of markets as economic and social engines, promoting sustainability and the consumption of local products.

Part of the Cultural Regatta 2024

The fair is also integrated into the Cultural Regatta, a program organized by the Barcelona City Council in the framework of the America's Cup sailing competition, which includes cultural, artistic and gastronomic proposals for all audiences.

Food purchased at local markets offers a unique gastronomic experience, as it is characterized by its freshness and quality. The products are usually grown or processed in a sustainable way, which contributes to a healthier and more environmentally friendly diet. In addition, the diversity of options available at the markets allows consumers to explore authentic flavors and support local producers.
