In a way, if we apply a dose of purism to the logic of where medieval markets should be held, it is logical to say that it would only make sense for them to take place in (precisely) medieval villages. As are Buitrago de Lozoya torrelaguna or, the one that concerns us, Manzanares el Real.
The town of Manzanariega, known for its emblematic castle of which we spoke to you about in this article will host a medieval fair organized by Arlekin Markets from June 14 to 16.
It is precisely this fair who announces its celebration and who highlights on its website: “the Town Square and the Town Hall Houses are the most important places in Manzanares El Real, and form a homely space in which to meet and get to know each other”.
It will be precisely in the Plaza del Pueblo (where, by the way, some concerts have been held in recent days) Vermouth Session) the place that will host a medieval market that will incorporate craft stalls, accessories, toys or food.
More than a medieval marketplace
The distance in the calendar urges to prepare a getaway marked in red in the month of June. In addition to cultural visits such as the aforementioned castle, Manzanares el Real (due to its proximity to the mountain range) also offers the possibility of excursions in the form of hiking route.
The Senda del Cancho de los Muertos, for example, is a hiking option in La Pedriza. A circular route that lasts about three hours and is not excessively complicated -unless you want to climb the Chalice or the Cancho, for which you would need climbing equipment.
