Original Arts and Crafts Fair
This year wil be the twentieth edition of the fair and the seventh time Amata may organize it.
Puppet shows, storytelling, workshops, soap bubble shows and board games will make it an event for the whole family. Taverns and back ground music will create an inviting atmosphere for spending a few pleasant hours in this charming village, while craft demonstrations will spark the interest of both young and old.
Just like last year, you will find us at Plaza La Glorieta, alongside stalls run by local residents and businesses.
We open on Friday from 5 till 9 pm; Saturday and Sunday poening times are from 11 am till 2 pm and from 5 till 9 pm or later, although on Sunday we close a little earlier.
