O Ganapan

The Ganapán is a children's space located on the first floor of the Mercado de Abastos, which was born with the desire to encourage the attendance of the family public of Boa Vila to the Market.

It’s not just a toy library; it is a space for families to get closer to the productive fabric of the land and the sea, to local trade, ecological production and the natural culture that inhabits traditional markets such as our city.

In Ganapán, playful and didactic activities are developed: artistic, gastronomic, environmental, musical, literary workshops… that have the local product present in the Market as a common thread. To do this, it has two spaces: the Gastro Space and the Crea Space.

The aim of the activities of the Gastro Space is to make known the product cycles (of the sea and the land), their link with the Galician gastronomic culture and, also, how with the local production different meals of the world can be prepared.

The activities seek to highlight the conscious and responsible consumption and nutritional values ​​of the foods that are prepared in this space, encouraging proposals that are both attractive and healthy for children and families.

In the Crea Space, artistic and creative activities are developed

of toys, the most fun science…

The Ganapán was chosen from more than 200 proposals submitted

throughout Spain by the Ministry of Education and Culture

as a model project within the Third Meeting of Culture and Citizenship 2017.
