From the 9th of May till the 11th, the Festival of Nations will be held in the Ciudad Quesada estate in Rojales to commemorate Europe Day (May 9th). This year it will once again host one of those fairs you can enjoy at a leisurely pace: colourful stalls, unique handmade pieces, live demonstrations, and a peaceful atmosphere that invites you to stroll. A small oasis of creativity, featuring the artisans of Amata, the association for the promotion of arts and crafts.
About 25 stalls selling authentic crafts will be set up around Plaza Blanca (if you come with a GPS or Google Maps, search for “Calle Blanca”). As always, everything on offer is made by the artisans themselves: no resale or factory items, just original pieces made with that little extra!
Here you won’t find what you see in any shop: each object, be it a piece of jewellery, a notebook, some pottery, or a wooden toy, has a story and many hours of dedication. It’s the essence of true craftsmanship: unique pieces, made with care, designed to last and to be loved.
And for those who want to see how these special pieces are created, there will also be live demonstrations throughout the weekend. These simple, one-hour activities will be spread out over Saturday and Sunday, so anyone can stop for a moment and discover the secrets of the artisan’s crafts.
The fair starts on Friday, the 9th of May at 6 pm. Saturday and Sunday it opens from 11 am till 9 pm and stays open at midday. You can see the programme at https://www.puebloartesano.es/rojales.
A fair for everyone, with a relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and lots of art. A fair not to be missed.
