Virtual Artisan Village
El Poble Nou de Benitatxell (Alicante)
21, 22 and 23 April
Arts and Crafts Fair
On the occasion of Mitjafava Fest 2023 we organise an Arts and Crafts fair with workshops for children, soap bubble shows and an exhibition of birds of prey and falconry.
It will be the first time we organise a fair in this village and there will be several activities related to local gastronomy (fava = broad bean), live music and folk dances.
In addition, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Amata with a contest of unique pieces from the participants.
We will be in the Calle La Pau and we are open on Friday afternoon from 6 till 9 pm, on Saturday from 11 am till 9 pm and on Sunday from 11 am till 5 pm.
You will find the complete programme here below.
All photographs on this page are from another Amata fair!
From 17 till 21 April you can eat Arròs with fava (Rice with broad beans), every day in another restaurant of the village - see programme here.
