Medieval fairs have become an annual tradition in many Catalan towns that take the opportunity to transform and disguise themselves of the time. They make us travel through time recreating our history and medieval past. And the truth is that they are the perfect excuse to meet new peoples of the territory that until that moment you had not yet stepped on.
With these historical recreations, each town and city, explains to the visitors how our ancestors lived, what trades they developed and what their traditions and customs were.
There are a lot of medieval fairs and markets to have a good time and enjoy a different family weekend, with fun traditional shows, the recovery and display of old crafts, guided tours, concerts, dances and handmade products and drinks.
