News: ​The Orihuela Medieval Market returns this weekend

The Medieval Market that traditionally takes place late January into early February will be back into the historic streets of the city this weekend, from the 22nd to the 24th of April.

The Orihuela Medieval Market spreads over 3 kilometres, offering crafts, traditional gifts, clothing, food, drink etc, all with a very medieval feel, as market traders dress themselves and their stalls to take us back to a time long ago. Many Orihuela Costa residents and visitors also take this annual opportunity to visit the historical city of Orihuela.

According to the councillor of Festivities, Mariola Rocamora, this year the market will be divided into three areas, namely the Christian area, the entertainment and leisure area and the Arabian market.

On the occasion of the celebration of the traditional Medieval Market, the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art and the Cathedral Chapter of Orihuela are organising a cultural activity called "The Medieval Age in Orihuela".

This is a guided tour conducted by art history specialists where visitors will get to know more about the Medieval Art Room at the Diocesan Museum of Religious Art, the doors of the Cathedral, the Gothic Interior and the tower.

The Orihuela Medieval Market is one of the many attractions you can enjoy when you own a property in the Costa Blanca.
