Break
This year we decided to make Drupalcamp Spain in a centric location with great transportation options where attendees can eat good food at a reasonable price. While this decision prevents us from including food as other years, we are sure that you will be satisfied.
San Fernando's Market
This nearby classic covered market, which is 7 minutes walk from La Casa Encendida, is not as turisty and full of people as other ones and it is also less pricey. The market retains part of its old style.
The market (which has existed since 1944) has a central square with several tables, and there are some 10 stalls surrounding it where you can buy traditional spanish food, greek food, japanese, asturian or andalousian, vegan, drink some tap vermouth, eat grilled meat or some chorizo, and so on, all in a young and casual atmosphere.
Some deals for us this weekend are:
- At "El guaje de Lavapiés" stall: potato omelette + cider bottle: 8.50€; white wine bottle +embutido: 8.50€
- At "Bosco Bistró": 2nd, 4th and 6th rounds of drink for free; 40% off at all food
- At "Don Pepito": arepas with beef or guacamole chicken: 4€ each, 4.50€ including beer
More information about the stalls here (in spanish).
How to get there
It's a 7 minutes walk. Leaving the venue, turn right at Ronda de Valencia, enter the 2nd street on the right (Calle Mesón de Paredes), and turn the 4th street on the left (Plaza de Arturo Barea). There is an entrance to the Market on the left side.
