NIGHT AT THE MARKET is an initiative integrated in the Mértola Food Network, which aims to raise awareness of the local community and visitors to the practice of local, seasonal, clean and healthy food! In each initiative a theme associated to food or a local product is approached and to help the conversation local specialists or producers are invited, in a common effort to empower the community for a more critical and conscious consumption. It takes place once a month at the Mértola and Mina de S. Domingos markets. In each initiative, a person or a group of people are invited to cook a meal on the spot related to the theme discussed and participants are asked to bring to the sharing table a local, seasonal product: a wine, a cheese, a sausage, a jam, some fruit. Or, if they prefer, they may bring something they have made themselves, also related to the topic of conversation. At every moment there is good conversation and the presence of the Alentejo Singing.
