Bigastro will host the fourth edition of Girls of Sun on Saturday, June 27, transforming the Jardines de la Alquibla into a full-day showcase of female entrepreneurship, creativity and local talent.
The event, running from 9am until midnight, is organised by Orihuela entrepreneur Marta Martínez, founder of jewellery brand By Marta Martínez, and Ángela Martí, creator of sustainable fashion label CIRCU.
Originally launched as a women-led market, Girls of Sun has developed into an experiential festival combining professional networking, workshops, music, food, wellbeing, art and shopping.

Activities include Barre Booty and Pilates Flow sessions, facial fitness, botanical printing, sustainable skincare, a lifesaving first-aid workshop and a handmade ceramics experience.
Workshop prices range from €15 to €40 and include a welcome pack, an exclusive event gift, brunch, early access to the market and entry into a live bingo offering €50 gift vouchers.
A family workshop will also be held in the afternoon, giving adults and children the opportunity to create a personalised doormat together.
