Mercado Medieval: A Medieval Market in Sevilla

When Sindy, Elizabeth (Sindy's roommate), Blair and I decided to go out Friday night, we thought we'd be able to find a place to go and hang out, maybe try a Spanish cerveza. Well we got a little diverted from our plans when we look to our left and see a giant fair, or what looked like a fair, going on. We walked in and it seemed the entire park area had been taken back 800 years to some camp along the river. It was incredible!! Apparently, the Mercado Medieval occurs in Sevilla every year and it is a big deal. There is a lot of food and merchandise and everyone is in costume.

I've been to things like this before but this was very different from any other, mainly because it was all in Spanish. I even got to try some Valencian figs which were absolutely to die for!! My dad would've loved them!! There were also other vegetables and nuts, and candy or dulces as they're called in Spain.

Needless to say, it was pretty amazing to see. I loved all of the different characters and the setup was so cute. There were tent after tent of goods. It was simply incredible.



So although our night didn't really turn out the way we thought, it was still a great night in Sevilla!!

Hasta luego!! Cati
