Medieval market comes to Garrucha

This year for the first time residents and visitors have been able to enjoy a medieval market in the Paseo Mediterraneo in Garrucha. The market, which was in Garrucha for about ten days had all you would expect from the middle ages; candles, herbal remedies, arts and crafts, Moroccan tea shops, and smoky barbequed meat and sausages accompanied by traditional scrumpy style cider to name but a few of the wares on offer from the stalls. For the children there was a puppet show telling stories of princesses and dragons or the pied piper and keeping even today's over stimulated youngsters entertained for half an hour.

If you missed this market the traditional summer market is still open every evening in Garrucha from dusk to late in the Paseo Mariritimo just behind the Almejero restaurant, selling everything you never knew you wanted.
