Going Medieval
FROM November 8 to 10, Cartagena’s historic centre will come alive with its beloved Medieval Market. This annual event features over a hundred craft stalls offering a wide range of artisanal products, from leather goods and silver jewellery to textiles and delicious food items like cheeses, cured meats, nuts, and vegan options.
Commerce Councillor Belén Romero introduced the event’s poster recently and stated how much the market excites visitors every year. This year brings a new twist, as organiser Maite Selles announced an expanded layout with additional space for the Medieval Market at the entrance of Plaza de la Merced. Attendees can also expect more entertainment, including musicians, jugglers, and static performances, to create a fantastic festive atmosphere. The Mercado Medieval is set to transport visitors back in time and offer a weekend of fun and medieval exploration in the heart of Cartagena.
