Calafell's Medieval Market

Every year in Calafell, they have a medieval market in the old part of town surrounding the castle. The tiny roads become over taken by booths selling a variety of different things: cheese and meats, artisan crafts, spices and herbs, handcrafted instruments and goods. There is also an abundance of fresh breads and baked foods sold, while meat roasts on large grills. Vendors dress in medieval attire and there are medieval flags strewn throughout. Hay bales are set up as seating at the tables where food is served. There are activities for children such as riding mules and learning pottery.
