Since the previous year we had been working on making an edition, even a small one, but in June we were able to get permits and we were very aware of the news from the authorities to be able to do it, so we decided to wait a bit ”, says Dáger.

“I went on a trip and had seen these markets that they have permanently in different cities and that have a fixed point and I just realized that we have such a rich gastronomy, and entrepreneurs and chefs so diverse that I wondered why not do a fair that focuses on the culinary part. I even did a pilot plan in 2016, under another name, and now with these editions, there is so much variety, people can go around and try different dishes. Little by little, new things have been corrected and increased, ”says Dáger.
