Christmas Fair with original arts and crafts
This year you will find our traditional Mercat de Nadal (Christmas Fair) in the square of the Town Hall. In a festive atmosphere we offer you a wide choice of original Christmas presents, all hand made by ourselves!
There will be workshops for children, craft demonstrations and table games.
We open all three days from 11 in the morning till 9 in the evening; we don't close at midday, although on Sunday we close an hour earlier.
The photographs on this page are from the fair in 2022.
