Mercamadrid

We went to Mercamadrid on Tuesday May 4th in Madrid. Mercamadrid is basically just a huge market where fisherman, cattle raisers, and farmers can sell their products in large quantities to businesses. We looked at the fish, meat, fruit, and vegetable markets. Mercamadrid would be in the food industry. The fish market was incredibly smelly but had all kinds of fish, even shark. We had interactions with private vendors and our tour guide. Our tourguide told me that the vendors pay rent in order to use Mercamadrid. I asked her how long fish last and what happens if they do not sell all of their product at Mercamadrid. She told me fish only last a few days, so the vendors have to be really good at knowing how much product they need to have and to make sure they do not have too much product or they will waste money.
