XI Christmas Market

This year marks the eleventh edition of the annual Christmas Craft Market, to be held in the Plaza Nueva from this Thursday December 16th until the arrival of the Magic Kings on January 5th.

There will be 72 stalls, more than half with artisans from Sevilla, and others featuring crafts from all over Spain.

Let’s hope the weather conditions this year are better. I remember feeling so sorry for everyone during last year’s rainy winter as this must have kept at least some shoppers away. This is my favourite market of the year and, especially at night with the trees all wrapped in pretty Christmas lights, it’s a very festive atmosphere.

Hours: 11.00 – 15.00 / 17.00 – 21.00
Closed the afternoons of 24th & 31st December
Closed all day 25th December and 1st January

5º Feria Ecologica

The fifth Feria Ecologica de Productoros Locales will be held this Saturday in the Alameda de Hércules in Sevilla.

This organic farmer’s fair is being put on to promote a project started by COAG Sevilla called “Revival of the Agricultural Sector through Organic Production”, funded by the European Social Fund through the Biodiversity Foundation. This project includes training courses in organic production and is scheduled to continue until 2013.

The weather forecast is looking good (at least dry!) for Saturday so why not go out and support COAG and also our local producers?

Also check out the 2nd Gastronomy & Crafts Fair, being held over the next two weekends at the Patio de la Diputación de Sevilla, C/Menendez y Pelayo.
