For a long time I wanted to visit and stroll through the medieval square of Vic, called Mercadal, looking at all the medieval Gothic buildings and palaces that surround it. It was a pity that in the afternoon it rained heavily and we could not stroll through the narrow and sinuous streets of the historic center of Vic all that we would have liked.

Vic is known for its "fuets", such as the "fuets" of Casa Riera Ordeix (www.cro.es), and their typical markets. Some markets are as unique as the Mercat de Música Viva de Vic (Live Music Market of Vic). Besides, when Christmas is coming there is a medieval market with hundreds of drawn characters, artisans and taverns. The first Saturday of each month the antiquities market and the second saturday, a painting market is organized. In the Mercadal square, there is a market on Tuesdays and Saturdays with local products, flowers and all kinds of complements.
