Palo Market Fest: a creative hub in Barcelona

Palo Market Fest is a cultural event held on the first weekend of every month in a unique space in Barcelona, ​​located in a rehabilitated 19th-century factory in the Palo Alto area. This creative market has become a cultural landmark, a meeting point for city residents and visitors, offering a wide variety of fashion, design, beauty and organic gastronomy products, along with a carefully selected food truck. In this special November edition, the Korean food truck will add an international flavour to the event's already diverse gastronomic offering.
