What day is Medieval Market?

Medieval Market runs Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 2pm at El Castell Fortalesa de Santa Pola. It does not open on Tuesday or Wednesday, so check the date before you plan a visit around its handicraft and prepared food stalls.

What months does Medieval Market run?
