RESIDENTS and visitors in Puerto de Mazarron will have their last chance to visit one of the most beautiful events of the year, and may even come away with some handmade treasures to remind them of their time on the Costa Calida. The Puerto de Mazarron Artisanal Market, which has been held on the third Saturday of every month this year, is coming to a close on Saturday, December 20 for the year and it will be filled to the brim with tourists and residents looking to get amazing artisanal crafts just in time for the holiday season.
An idyllic market, overlooking the seafront
Taking place in the Campeon Pedro Acosta Square, in an idyllic location right on the seafront promenade of Puerto de Mazarron, the market is a staple of the community. With artisanal treasures made of textiles, straw, pottery, leather, and more, artists in the area can showcase their works and interested customers can take something truly special back home with them, whether for a Christmas gift or a self-indulgent splurge.
Celebrating Murcia’s crafting traditions
The market offers locals and foreigners the chance to see the most authentic crafts produced in the region of Murcia. With around thirty craftspeople giving demonstrations of their trades while displaying and selling their work, it is an incredible way to learn the tricks of Murcia’s trades and find special gems hidden in plain sight on the Costa.
“This market celebrates the traditions passed down from generation to generation,” states the Mazarron Town Hall. The event is organized by the Regional Guild of Various Crafts in collaboration with the Department of Commerce.
A mild market December morning
The final edition of this year’s market will be held on Saturday, December 20 from 10:00am to 2:00pm at the Plaza Campeon Pedro Acosta. Accompanied by mild weather, sunny skies, and impressive handmade artisan crafts, the market will be a perfect way to spend a special December morning on the Costa Calida, surrounded by palms, a calm and amiable atmosphere, and true, talented local craftsmen.
