La Nucía’s Medieval Market Every is set up each year in the village centre of La Nucía to commemorate that on the 9th of July 1705 the town charter was signed.

This market has been held since 2005 and this year includes a medieval camp, fencing, belly dancing, medieval characters, troubadours, fire shows, workshops for children and craft demonstrations.
More than forty authentic artisans have reserved a space to sell what they have made with their own hands. The Plaza Mayor and the streets surrounding the Town Hall will be filled with stalls with a wide variety of authentic crafts: ceramics and pottery, glass, designer and costume jewellery, carved wood and marquetry, handmade soaps and perfumes, wooden toys, lamps made with pine cones or pumpkins, and much more.
The blacksmith will be working at his forge and will offer you the chance to make a knife, while the potter will let you make your own bowl on his wheel. There will be other workshops at the medieval encampment, which will be set up again in San José Square, where there is ample space for archery and fencing, as well as medieval combat demonstrations.
In the gastronomic corner you will find food stalls: cheeses and sausages, nuts, jams and sweets, as well as a medieval tavern, a pulpería serving plates of octopus, and a jaima with Arab food. And while parents recover their strength there, children can participate in craft workshops, play board games or have a ride on the mythological carousel.
To complete the medieval atmosphere, troubadours, knights, a belly dancer, buffoons, beggars and other medieval characters will tour the streets and corners of the market and close the market every night with a great fire show.
La Nucía’s Medieval Market is set up in the oldest part of the village, around the Town Hall, and opens to the public on Friday the 11th, Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th of July from 6pm to midnight (or later…). There is ample parking (free) in the Auditorio de les Nits car park, 100 metres from the market and in a large open-air car park, just behind the old town.
