As of Tuesday and until Sunday, Daveiga will be the protagonist of the store located in the very centre of A Coruña, which will open its doors to share this exemplary experience whose origins lie in the Galician countryside.
Daveiga will take part from August 26 to 31 at the Pop-Up Store organised by the Mercado de la Cosecha, in A Coruña. The store opening times are Tuesday to Sunday, 11am-2pm, and 6pm-10pm. During the days Daveiga will be at the Mercado de la Cosecha Pop-Up store, there will be a constant flow of activities, all of them open to the general public.
Every day, there will be a draw to win a selection of Mariñeiras biscuits to be held among all those clients who spend over €5.
In addition, on Thursday at 6.30 pm, there will be a talk and debate: “A ECONOMÍA SOCIAL COMO MODELO EFICIENTE, EFICAZ, RENTABLE, VIABLE E ALTERNATIVO” (“Social Economy as an efficient, effective, profitable, viable and alternative model”)
and on Friday, also at 6.30pm, DAVEIGA will present: “A PRODUCIÓN RESPONSABLE dende a perspectiva da Economía social”. (“ Responsible production from the perspective of Social Economy”)
