Virtual Artisan Village
Hondón de las Nieves (Alicante)
7 and 8 August
Arts and Crafts Fair
In the eleventh edition of this fair, we offer, apart from our arts and crafts stalls, workshops for children, a blacksmith's forge, a pottery workshop, and various craft demonstrations. The musicians of SolRedò guarantee a lively and cheerful atmosphere. As in previous years, San Juan Street will be filled with local stalls.
We open on Friday from 7 pm until one in the morning, and on Saturday from 7 pm until midnight, when the famous correfocs (fire procession) starts.
The photographs on this page are from last year's fair and here below you'll find this year's programme.
