Santa Pola Medieval Market 2025

The mediaeval market, which will be inaugurated in conjunction with Holy Week on Thursday, April 17th, at 5:00 p.m., is the first of the thematic markets that the Department of Festivals in Santa Pola intends to expand in the vicinity of the Fortress Castle.

A new phase of this tourist attraction has commenced with the assistance of a specialised company, La Fragua de Vulcano. During these festive days, it provides tourists and residents with an intriguing leisure alternative within the Castle’s unparalleled setting.

In addition to the artisan and merchant stalls, a diverse array of activities will be conducted over the course of five days, such as musical entertainment, minstrelsy, circus performances, workshops, storytelling, and more.

The market is open from 11 a.m. to late at night, with the exception of Holy Week processions, during which the music and performances will be interrupted.
