San Miguel festivities Arts and Crafts Fair
Once again we will set up our Arts and Crafts fair in the center of Caudete (Plaza de la Iglesia, Calle Mayor and Plaza del Carmen), with craft demonstrations, workshops for children, storytelling, soap bubble and fire shows, table games, a merry-go-round and a very pleasant atmosphere.
Due to last year's success, we repeat the contest of unique pieces, made by the participants of the fair. We invite you to stop by the stalls, look at the pieces in the contest and vote for the piece you like best.
In addition, guided tours of medieval Caudete and chess activities are organized.
We open on Friday, the 27th of September from 6 till 10 pm; on Saturday, the 28th and Sunday the 29th of September the opening times will be from 11 am till 2 pm and in the afternoons from 6 till 10 pm, although on Sunday we will close a little earlier.
