Virtual Artisan Village
Alcantarilla (Murcia)
19 till 28 December
Christmas Market with original arts and crafts
In the square Plaza Adolfo Suárez, right in the heart of Alcantarilla, you'll find 16 stalls filled with a wide selection of original Christmas presents, because "the best gifts are handmade." There will be workshops for children, a carousel, and a Santa Claus stall.
On Friday, the 19th of December, we open at 11:00 a.m. to coincide with the school choir concert. On other days, we're open weekdays in the afternoon from 5:00 till 9:30 pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays also in the mornings, starting at 11:00 am, although on Christmas Eve, we're open from 11:00 am till 6:00 pm, and on Christmas Day only in the afternoon.
