About
The Medieval Market of Almenar recreates 12th-century village life across the old town with craft stalls, artisan demonstrations of traditional trades like blacksmithing, pottery and basket-weaving, street theater, and medieval music and dance. The weekend program includes children's workshops, storytelling, and popular dinners with period-themed menus. Residents dress in historical costume and fill the streets, creating a participatory atmosphere where visitors experience daily medieval routines and festivities.
