Medieval Market in Teulada from the 6th to the 8th of August
This is a special edition of the Medieval Market for several reasons amongst which the return to its original location, now that the works in the historical center of Teulada have finished, and after the improvements that have been carried out this area of the town has now been declared of Cultural Interest (BIC) by the Valencian Region Authorities.
Another reason that makes this edition of the market special is that is coincides with the celebration of 600th anniversary of the arrival of St. Vincent Ferrer in Teulada, anniversary that will be reflected in many of the acts to be performed during the Medieval Market.
The medieval market will open on Friday, August 6th, at 6:00 pm and the inaugural parade will take place at 10:30pm where there will be a theatrical representation of the arrival of St. Vincent Ferrer, Patron Saint of the town, at Teulada, with the staging of two miracles in the Plaza dels Porxes. A medieval dance by the 2011 Junior Fiestas Committee will follow this and music by Colla El Falco.
