Virtual Artisan Village
Rojales (Ciudad Quesada) - Alicante
May 12 - 14 2023
Arts and Crafts Fair
For the third time we bring our "Artesanía de Autor®" to Ciudad Quesada (the urbanization in Rojales) to celebrate Europe Day, with trade demonstrations, puppet theater, storytelling and lots of "swing" - see programme below.
Unfortunately, the first day started with rain and we have not been able to open the fair. We hope that tomorrow, Saturday, the weather will be better and in that case we hope to see you between 11 am and 9 pm.
We set up some 25 stalls around the Plaza Blanca. Various painters display and sell their work and each craft stall offers something different.
Weather permitting, we open on Saturday and Sunday at 11 in the morning and stay until 9 at night, without closing at midday.
The photographs on this page are from the fair we held here last year.
Programme
The craft demonstrations are given in, or next to, the stalls of the corresponding artisans.
