Yes, it's a working food market with bar stalls. Last year a gourmet tapa plus a drink cost €6 on the festival route, and the Paellamar stall opened at lunchtime only.

Is it OK for young kids?

In the daytime, yes: it's a busy market with decorations and music. Last year's late program (an 80s DJ on Friday night and a Ramones tribute band on Saturday at 9pm) was aimed at adults.

About

Each fall Mercado de Prosperidad, a neighborhood food market, dresses up for Mexico's Day of the Dead with papel picado, an altar, mariachis and a photocall. Last year the stalls also ran a tapa-and-drink route, and the nights brought a DJ and a Ramones tribute band. Daytime is the gentler slot for kids; late evenings lean toward a grown-up party.

Free to walk in; tapa and drink €6 in 2025
