The Medieval Market will be held this coming weekend in Orihuela, on February 2, 3 and 4, where visitors will be able to enjoy an historical experience from a bygone era, where, unlike today, Jewish, Arab and Christian culture coexisted together.

Divided in to 3 zones, the first area will feature a dragon village where we will be able to discover the majestic return of birds, a stop for dromedaries and other animals, as well as children’s games, craftsmen and more surprises.

Zone two is where the large-format shows will take place, along with the artisans and a large children’s area, and in zone 3, visitors will be able to enter the Arab area of the market, with shows, music and dance, as well as the Great Knights Tournament.

Throughout the entire Medieval Market you can enjoy stalls, workshops, tradesmen and taverns. Music, dance and shows will take place in the streets and squares throughout the entire fair.

The market will open on Friday, February 2 at 12:00 p.m. with a tour from the Puerta de la Olma to the Town Hall, and then on Saturday, February 3, there will be the Proclamation of Armengola from the balcony of the Town Hall.
