Some plans simply feel good from the moment you arrive — think handcrafted wood, forged iron, live music and a vermouth in hand. That’s the atmosphere of the Craft Market in Pola de Allande. On the first Sunday of each month, Parque El Toral becomes a vibrant creative hub where local talent takes centre stage.

Stalls showcase everything from ceramics, illustration and textiles to jewellery, decorative pieces and one-of-a-kind handmade gifts. It’s a space where tradition meets contemporary creativity — and where supporting local makers goes hand in hand with more conscious, meaningful consumption

But this is more than a market. It’s a full Sunday experience. Visitors can enjoy live music during vermouth sessions, watch blacksmith demonstrations that keep ancestral techniques alive, or take part in children’s workshops designed to spark imagination and hands-on learning.

Warm, welcoming and rooted in the local landscape, the Craft Market is both a community gathering point and a celebration of rural identity and creative energy.

A perfect excuse for a Sunday escape — and another step in building a cultural ecosystem that looks confidently toward 2031, grounded in heritage and open to the world.
