Upcoming dates

Calonge's medieval market is set up once a year on the Plaça Major, around the castle that presides over the village's historic core. The castle is not a backdrop: the layout of the stalls and the programme of activities are organised explicitly around it, which gives the whole thing a coherence that fairs of this kind do not always have.

The fair defines itself as a craft market, with handmade goods as its axis. Around it are hands-on workshops recreating period trades, aimed at adults and children alike, and a programme of shows with live music, medieval combat and wrestling displays, and storytelling sessions on historical themes.

It is held during Holy Week and runs for two days.
