Miami, FL – September 25, 2015 – El Mercado de San Miguel, a historic Spanish market – originally opened in Madrid in 1916, brought their famous homegrown ‘foodtopia’ to South Florida with “La Feria del Mercado de San Miguel.”  The emporium of fresh, regional foods popped-up in downtown Miami in Bayfront Park last weekend in an impressive indoor tent and outdoor seating and dining tapas bar. The Miami site marries Spanish gastronomy with local artisans, bakers, and farmers to create the legendary dishes and take-home provisions that the Spanish location has become celebrated for world-wide. Inspired by the traveling markets and street fairs of old Europe, the “pop-up” version of the permanent market is scheduled to travel the globe with Miami being its first stop. La Feria encompasses 9,000 square feet of combined interior tent space and an outdoor tapas bar and seating area, creating a spacious destination for strolling, shopping, eating, and drinking. The tent’s interior serves as an extravaganza of Spanish foods with numerous kiosks, stands, counters, and carts offering a variety of delights meant to be taken home or enjoyed on site and also highlights unique regional cooking techniques. If you would like to experience this pop-up it will be on display through January 31, 2016.
