Color, noises and scents of the orchard and modernity are mixed between salesmen who are farmers, retailers, town, tourists and also onlookers. They cross a way privileged for history, the high street, the street of the Canons and the seat of the WHO, before the cathedral of Santa Maria, symbol of a great town, that was capital of Spain during three days. The history of the market of the Seu begins in the Average Age, when horsemen and horses could not nor imagine as he would change this Olympic city.
