Taking Part and Visitor Information
The announcement does not state admission charges, booking arrangements, age limits or robotics workshop capacity. Check those details with the market if you are travelling for a particular activity.
For the Pokémon TCG tournament, ask about eligibility, registration and earlier rounds before arriving for the 19:30 final. Being at the final does not necessarily mean you can enter the competition then.
For event arrangements or accessibility enquiries, contact Mercado Municipal on +34 922 386 158 or info@mercadomunicipal.net.
Planning Your Afternoon
- Choose your highlight: arrive before 17:30 for the K-pop show, or before 19:30 to watch the Pokémon final.
- Allow time to find the activity area: the announcement names the market but does not specify the floor or individual workshop locations.
- Check participation details first: workshop capacity and tournament registration are separate from simply watching the performances.
