Page 23 La Nucia Medieval Market


On 8th, 9th and 10th July, from 6pm until midnight Amata, the regional craft association will hold a medival market with craft work, live entertainment, falconry and lots of food.


Amata craft fairs really are about quality. The quality of the craft people and the work they do, the care and attention they give to the materials on which they work - clay, leather, glass, wood, fabric, iron, copper and a lot of other materials. These are all people who spend their lives making beautiful things because that’s what they want to do, who enjoy their work and want you to share this joy. They will set up some 60 stalls in the narrow streets of La Nucia’s old town centre, with leather handbags and wooden toys, hand made pottery and original jewellery, hand painted fans and T-shirts, spoons made of cows horns and handmade shoes and sandals.


You can watch a sculptor and a blacksmith at work and have a try at the potter’s wheel. And as you make your way along the narrow streets, small groups of musicians wander along, there’s a juggler or perhaps somebody on stilts, beggars and noble men - well, all the usual amusements of a medieval market. The smaller children can take a ride on a tiny wooden ferris wheel, visit the animal farm or ride a donkey, while their parents try the beer at


the tavern - or perhaps take some tea in the Arab tea tent. There are two taverns with a BBQ (one of them with a whole roast pig on a spit), you can try pulpo (no, not calamar, but the real octopus) and you can buy goat’s cheese, dried fruit and fresh bread straight from the wood oven to take home with you (don’t burn your fingers!).


This year for the first time there will also be a choice of ecological products. Not in the medieval market itself, but in a little square next to it, where a dozen or so local and regional producers sell their ecological fruit, vegetables, wine and oil. Normally they have a little market at the El Cautivador estate, every second Saturday of the month, but because of the medieval market, they will set up stall in the village.
