El Mercado

Imagine going to flea markets of the Spanish-speaking world. Imagine being surrounded by the art, clothing, music, dances, families, food, folktales, history, games and beautiful buildings of Hispanic culture. In El Mercardo, we will begin to learn to speak, read, write and understand Spanish. We will break piñatas, dance and visit an authentic Spanish restaurant. We will sing, visit local markets, play Spanish games, and make crafts for the Open House market.
