La Pineda Craft and Trades Fair

Three things are on sale: handicrafts, jewellery, and clothing and textiles. The Catalan name, Fira d'Artesans i Oficis, means fair of artisans and trades, and the stalls stay close to it, selling handmade pieces rather than the fruit, vegetables and household goods of a daytime mercadillo. The stall count is not published anywhere, so how big the fair is on a given night is not something this page can promise you in advance.

La Pineda is the obvious base for this fair, and you'll find plenty of hotels and apartments right along the beach strip. La Pineda puts you within easy walking distance of the fairground and the sea, which makes it a convenient pick if you want to keep things simple.

If you prefer something with a bit more comfort, Hotel La Pineda is a solid option close to the action. For a quieter stay with easy access, Vila-seca town centre is just a short drive away and tends to offer better value.

The fair is at Parc del Pinar de Perruquet, La Pineda, 43480 Vila-seca. It sets up in the park itself and is entirely open-air, with no indoor hall to retreat into. The official La Pineda page is the one to check before setting out, since it is where any change to the fair's dates would be posted first.
