Arts and Crafts Fair

For four full days you’ll find us in the old town, in the streets San Isidro and Miralrío, with over 50 craft stalls, two tavern areas, children's attractions, soap bubble shows, board games and craft demonstrations of blacksmithing, cosmetics making and clay sculpting. You can also participate in pottery and stone carving workshops.

We open all four days from 11 am till 11 pm, except on Sunday, when we close earlier. Here below you can consult the programme.
