Virtual Artisan Village
Xàtiva
New dates: 10, 11 and 12 November
Original Arts and Crafts Fair
We would have liked to participate in the Fira de Borja, the festival that fills the historic center of the city with music, historical recreations and gastronomy, but we had to postpone our fair because of the strong gusts of wind expected for last weekend.
Now we open on Friday, the 10th of November, from 5 to 10 pm. On Saturday, 11 November, and Sunday the 12th opening times are from 10 am till 10 pm, although on Sunday we close a little earlier.
We will set up our Arts and Crafts stalls in the wide avenue Alameda Jaime I. We offer an extensive programme of craft demonstrations, workshops for children, games, story-telling, soap bubble shows and musical parades with funny characters.
The photographs on this page are from last year's fair.
