Medieval Market of Fuengirola 2010

In Fuengirola (Málaga) will be held from the 12th to the 15th of August the seventh edition of the Medieval Market in the castle Sohail.

Until Sunday in Sohail Castle in Fuengirola will be possible a time travel to the Middle Ages, thanks to the launch of the medieval market. The event is unique in Spain, as it takes place within an authentic Arab fortress of the time. The area will present a typical medieval aspect, with flags of the time, background music and many of the participants dressed in historical costumes.

Sohail Castle in Fuengirola, a restored Moorish fortress and converted into a auditorium which hosts a variety of musical events during the summer months, has been for some years the perfect setting for the celebration of the Medieval Market in Fuengirola.

At this market you can find all kinds of products and appealing activities that make the visit a time travel and a tour of Spain to the time of the bards, the craft guilds, traditional gastronomy, etc.

Thus, workshops for clay, bread, leather, toys, jewelry and woodwork will allow visitors to see how in ancient times these products were produced without industrial action.

Other attractions that have already enjoyed great success in previous editions are archery, donkey rides, witches and fortune-tellers, stilts, storytellers and children's games, juggling, the costumes of the time and street theater.

The market to be held this weekend in Fuengirola Sohail Castle is considered one of the best in Spain because of its location. The Castle will be open from seven o'clock in the afternoon until two o´clock in the morning.
