Between the 19th and 24th of September (not including Monday 22nd), more than twenty vans, caravans and other trucks peddling food will be getting into gear for the first edition of this mobile food market, which will be subsequently touring Catalonia setting anchor at various stopping points within the territory flogging its wares over several dates, with the intention of "reclaiming the collective and civic use of public space as a way to celebrate and share quality, affordable, healthy and easily available street food."
