The Palo Alto Market\u00a0<\/strong>is an event that was created by a group of young professionals who work at Fundaci\u00f3n Palo Alto<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0a space with nineteen creative studios<\/strong><\/a> inside what used to be an old factory. It is in the garden of the Fundaci\u00f3n itself, a lush and beautiful place, hidden in the middle of the Barrio of Sant Mart\u00ec, that the market takes place. The Palo Alto Market, which happens at least once a month, is a new and trendy kind of street market where you can buy unique design, decoration<\/strong><\/a> and clothing items. After you finished shopping, you can grab a bite in one of the various food stands or food trucks, choosing between Italian, organic, gourmet or street food. There are usually interesting exhibits and activities going on during the two days of the market, like 100% Organic Design, <\/strong>an installation presenting furniture made entirely out of bread. The Palo Alto Market is not only for adults. There are rag dolls, wooden toys and various other items created by hand by artists presenting their work for sale. But that\u2019s not all: there are also workshops where kids<\/strong><\/a> can roll up their sleeves and get to work, learning how to build paper flowers, beautiful cardboard boxes, etc.<\/p>\n
