SEAFOOD AND CRAFTS FILL THE PORT IN NOVEMBER
The AMATA craft market will be complemented by La Mar de Tapas gastronomic festival
A sea side promenade with stunning views to the port and the surrounding capes, a wide choice of sea food “tapas” and a small but select Arts & Crafts Fair – if that sounds like a good combination to you, you could do worse than visit the Port of Jávea in the weekend of 3, 4 and 5 November. That is when the local business association has organized their 10th “Mar de Tapas” event together with a typical AMATA Craft Fair.
The craft association AMATA carefully selects the participants and you will notice the result! All that is for sale in an MATA fair is hand made by the same person that behind the stall. All participants have consciously decided to dedicate their time to making things that they like (and hope that other people like as well). It’s certainly a good occasion for buying original Christmas presents, and as there is still time, you can order something special or personalised as they are all real artisans.
The fair is set up along the promenade in the port zone of Jávea. Some twenty craft men and women are expected, each one offering something different – pottery and painted stones, turned wood, water colours and oil paintings; colourful hats and vests, wooden handbags and leather ones, gnomes and marionets, pyrography and enchanting pictures made of pebbles and several stalls with designer jewelry, each one using different materials and techniques: bronze, ceramics, wood, leather, natural flowers or even recycled beer tins. On Saturday and Sunday a potter can help you to turn your own little bowl on his wheel.
The fair opens on Friday 3rd November from 7.00pm until 10.00pm whilst opening times for Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th November will be from 11.00am till 10.00pm, although it will close earlier on Sunday evening.
