GastroMercado Cofrade
The GastroMercado Cofrade in Aguilar de la Frontera transforms the market hall into a tapas tour for several days each year. Each local brotherhood sets up its own stall and offers dishes prepared by its own members at a single price, accompanied by concerts from the bugle and drum bands of Aguilar de la Frontera. It is organized by the Aguilar de la Frontera Town Council in collaboration with the Association of Brotherhoods and Fraternities, and all eight local brotherhoods participate. The proceeds support the brotherhoods’ activities, so the GastroMercado Cofrade is both a culinary event and a gathering of the brotherhoods within the town’s calendar. The Mercado de Abastos, on Calle la Tercia, is the usual venue: a traditional market hall that, during these days, swaps its produce stalls for tables, tapas, and live music, bringing together residents of Aguilar de la Frontera and the entire Córdoba region.
