Albatera is set to transport visitors back in time with its Medieval Market.
The market will run from February 14 to 16 in the Plaza de España and surrounding areas. This year, the event is bigger and better than ever.
Cristina Nieto, the Councillor for Festivals, emphasised the significance of bringing back this popular event: “The Medieval Market has always been a favourite in Albatera, and we want to offer a weekend filled with magic, music, and tradition for everyone to enjoy.”
Over the course of three days, the market will feature a variety of activities, including live music performances, medieval dances and workshops. A large medieval dragon will also make an appearance. In addition, there will be exhibitions showcasing period tools and costumes, as well as a children’s corner with educational games and attractions.
Food will also be a major highlight, with traditional stalls offering medieval delicacies such as artisanal sausages, cheeses, sweets, and grilled meats, bringing the flavours of the past to life.
The Medieval Market marks the beginning of a month full of festivities in Albatera, with the Tapas Route and the Half-Year Festivity scheduled for the following weekend. “February is a month brimming with events for all ages,” said Cristina Nieto. “We encourage everyone to come and enjoy the lively atmosphere Albatera has to offer.”
