To celebrate the San Isidro festivities, the Plaza de las Comendadoras will once again host the Feria de la Cacharrería, where we will see handcrafted pieces from the most respected pottery centers in Spain. This 43rd edition will last five days: from Saturday, May 10 to Thursday, May 15.
In addition to handmade products, the fair will have children’s workshops and live demonstrations of different crafts (kneading, turning…). It will also boast a small exhibition with a focus on the art of pottery, in which each participating workshop will display an article made according to the pottery tradition of its geographical area.
