À NOITE NO MERCADO is an initiative of the Mértola Food Network, which aims to sensitise the local community and visitors to the practice of local, seasonal, clean and healthy eating! Each initiative tackles a topic associated with food or a local product and invites experts or local producers to help with the conversation, in a joint effort to empower the community to consume more critically and consciously. It takes place once a month at the Mértola and Mina de S. Domingos markets. In each initiative, a person or group of people is invited to cook a meal on the spot related to the theme being discussed and participants are asked to bring a local, seasonal product to the sharing table: a wine, a cheese, a sausage, a sweet or jam, some fruit. Or, if they prefer, they can bring something of their own that is also related to the topic of conversation. At every moment there is good conversation and the presence of Cante Alentejano.
