Virtual Artisan Village
Altea (Alicante)
4, 5 and 6 December
Christmas Fair with original arts and crafts
Just like last year, we'll be setting up the traditional Mercat de Nadal (Christmas Market) on Avenida de la Comunidad Valenciana, a few meters from the large (free) parking lot. In a festive atmosphere, we'll offer you a great opportunity to find original Cristmas presents, all handmade by us!
The nativity scene that was so successful last year will return (with each figure made by a different artisan and with different materials) and we will expand it with even more figures.
A juggler will liven up the market with stilt walking, Christmas characters, and a fire show at night.
For younger visitors there will be soap bubble shows, workshops and board games.
We will be open on Friday, 4 December from 6 till 9 pm; on Saturday and Sunday the opening times will be from 11 am till 2 pm and from 5 till 9 pm; on Sunday we will close one hour earlier.
The photos on this page are from last year's market.
