Santa Caterina launches an unbeatable aperitif: vermouth and gilda for €1.50 on the first Saturday of every month
From May, Olives i Conserves Torres will turn Mercat de Santa Caterina into a regular stop for aperitifs with a monthly promotion of Equinox vermouth and a gilda for €1.50 in the heart of Barcelona.
The aperitif at Mercat de Santa Caterina changes the rules. Olives i Conserves Torres launches an irresistible offer every first Saturday of the month. Vermut Equinox and a gilda at a special price in the heart of the city. Tradition and flavour in a monthly event that promises to fill the market.
Getting a good vermouth and a gilda at neighbourhood prices in central Barcelona seemed an impossible mission. However, since May, those strolling through Mercat de Santa Caterina will be able to enjoy both for just 1.50 euros every first Saturday of the month. The proposal, promoted by Olives i Conserves Torres, promises to revolutionise the city's aperitif ritual.
The initiative comes after the success of a one-off promotion in March, when the stall offered a gilda and a shot of vermouth for one euro. Now the offer is becoming a tradition: every first Saturday, a glass of Vermut Equinox and a gilda await those seeking authentic flavours without breaking the bank.
Olives i Conserves Torres has been holding its ground in the heart of the market since 1933, committed to local trade and personal service. In addition to its famous banderillas and pickles, the stall has earned local residents' trust by explaining the process behind each product and recommending unique combinations. The opening event for this new tradition will be on 2 May, marking the beginning of a custom that many foodies are already eagerly awaiting.
For those who want to extend the plan, the area around the market offers some of Barcelona's best restaurants, making the aperitif the perfect starting point for discovering new flavours in the city.
Mercat de Santa Caterina is much more than a market: its colourful undulating roof and lively atmosphere have made it an icon of El Born. Its aisles bring together historic stalls and innovative offerings, reflecting the evolution of Barcelona's gastronomy. Spaces such as Olives i Conserves Torres keep the essence of traditional markets alive, adapting to current tastes without losing authenticity.
