From Thursday, 13th April 'til Sunday, 16th April, Torrevieja is housing the Medieval Market in the Eras de la Sal at the end of the Vista Alegre boulevard. In addition to the stalls selling traditional products, there will be a number of stands with food, mostly made using original recipes or methods dating from the Middle Ages. Hot spiced wine, scrumpy from Galicia, sausages, preserved fruit, pickles and farm house cheese are on offer; For the thirsty there will be a tavern and an Arabian tea tent. Elsewhere there will be demonstrations by the blacksmith, the silversmith, the glazier and the (English) wood turner on a bow lathe. Through the crowd will pass beggars, a story teller, a buffoon (my type of guy) , soldiers and a variety of other medieval characters.
There will also be a group of medieval troubadours to enliven the event and a juggler to play with fire in the evenings; on the Thursday and Friday the programme will include a belly dancer and Saturday and Sunday three East European acrobats who will astonish the crowd with their impressive balancing and tumbling acts.
Sounds good to me and perhaps a bit more lively than the solemn procession of Cofradia Pasos we took them to see last year on Semana Viernes.
