Palma awards put traditional markets’ future in focus
Palma, Mallorca: the Metrae 2026 awards bring a national gathering of traditional market professionals to a close at the town hall on Monday, 26 October. The sixth National Meeting of Traditional Markets has brought people working in the sector from across Spain to the city on 25 and 26 October.
Mayor Jaime Martínez says traditional markets support local trade, keep neighbourhoods alive and preserve traditions. They are also part of a city’s history and places where neighbours meet. But he says they must be able to modernise and meet new challenges without losing what makes them distinctive.
Martínez says the Palma meeting has given those in the sector a chance to exchange ideas and share ways of tackling its challenges. He thanks traders, their associations and organisations such as Metrae for the daily work that keeps the markets going.
