Virtual Artisan Village
El Molar (Madrid)
20, 21 and 22 September
Arts and Crafts Fair in Renaissance style
To commemorate that on the 23rd of September 1564 King Philip II granted El Molar her Town Rights, a special fair will be held this year in Renaissance style.
It will be set up in the parking of the Cuevas de El Molar and will offer, in addition to our Craft stalls, pottery and stonemasonry workshops, other workshops for children, soap bubble shows, storytelling, belly dancing, parades on stilts and at night a fire show.
In each stall we will offer something different, everything made with our own hands, and if you can't find what you are looking for, we can make it especially for you.
In addition, we organize a contest for unique pieces and we invite you to vote for the piece you like best.
The photographs on this page are from the fair we did in 2022 in the square of the Town Hall.
