Virtual Artisan Village
Medinaceli (Soria)
21, 22 and 23 August
Medieval Market
We'll set up a beautiful medieval market in the stunning setting of La Villa, complete with troubadours, a juggler, and aerial acrobatics. We offer pottery and stonemasonry workshops, as well as demonstrations of blacksmithing and woodturning. For children, we'll have soap bubble shows, craft workshops, an archery workshop, a carousel, and board games.
But what will make this market so special will be the original quality of our craft work, because everything we offer is made with our own hands!
We open on Friday, the 21st of August from 7 till 11 pm, on Saturday and Sunday opening times are from 11 am till 2 pm and from 7 till 11 pm, although on Sunday we close earlier.
The photographs on this page are from last year's market and further down you will find the complete programme for this year.

The craft demonstrations take place at the respective artisans' booths, recognizable by their bright yellow skirts with the word DEMO.
