From Basar Vidal you leave with a frying pan, a knife, a saucepan, a set of pastry molds, a peeler, a shopping cart, or whatever. But above all, you leave having received a masterclass in cooking, practical advice to be as well-equipped as you wish, to optimize all resources, to obtain the best performance from the famous quality-price equation. Marc Vidal and his father Juanjo – now retired, but still occasionally seen – are the second and third generations of the family business. Well, strictly speaking, the fourth, since the founder was, in 1952, Juanjo's father, but it was the grandfather who, in Cerdanya, opened the first family grocery store.
