The concept is not new, there it is, For example, the Mercabanyal with its varied gastronomic offer served from containers in the maritime neighborhood of Valencia. Nor is the recovery of old buildings of industrial or fishing origin for recreational-festive uses., We have seen it in the Las Naves cultural center or in The Ice Factory. They are two examples of peripheral buildings that have gained new life thanks to municipal or private initiative., but this new project promoted by businessmen Juan Albert Cirujeda and David Núñez that opened its doors in the middle of Fallas made it central, very close to the Plaza de España, inside a majestic building with battlements on the façade that housed the Imprenta Vila at the beginning of the 20th century. The printing market son 1.800 square meters spread over two heights with 21 gastronomic stalls crowned with grilles from whose kitchens come baos of Lima chicken (Baovan), Argentine meats and empanadas (Poor Juan's Steakhouse), aged beef burgers (Hundred), fried foods (Antonio Manuel Frieduria), hams (Hams Juan Gargallo), lord's rice (The Rice Shop), sushi (Sushi 1906), croquettes (Sybarite) Lebanese pastry (Alsüq). And also sweet snacks to finish with the signature of Martínez Truffles. The idea is that each diner chooses the food they like the most., stop by the majestic central grandstand for your beer or the Wine Corner for a glass, and sits down to eat at a table between palm trees. The rehabilitation has been careful with some elements of the old printing press so that the new thing shines alongside the original decoration, pulleys, windows, old stairs and machines. The outside is still barren (and will continue for now), but it is worth looking out to see the bell tower that crowns the building where the printing press workers lived. Ah, and they promise cultural programming that is not currently underway, We will see if the Printing Market adds another pole of attraction to the Valencian cultural offer. S.M.
