Christmas Fair with original arts and crafts
For the first time we set up an original Arts and Crafts fair with a Christmas atmosphere in the central square of the town (Plaza de Albornoz), so that neighbours and visitors from elsewhere can buy original presents for the coming festivities, all handmade by ourselves.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Amata we organize a contest of unique pieces, made by the participants. The pieces are exhibited in the stalls of their authors and we invite you to vote for the piece that you like best.
The children can make their own little piece of craftwork in one of the workshop, have fun with the table games and the photocall, have a ride on the merry-go-round and send their letters to the Three Kings.
Opening times on Friday and Saturday are from 11 am till 2 pm and from 5 till 9 pm or later, on Sunday we open from 11 am till (Spanish) lunchtime.
The photographs on this page are from a similar fair, organised last year in another village.
