Orihuela inaugurated the 26th edition of its Medieval Market on Friday, transforming the city’s historic center into a vibrant medieval stage. The market spreads across multiple plazas and streets, offering activities for all ages. Plaza de Santiago features mythology-themed workshops, storytelling, dances, and medieval life reenactments, while Plaza del Carmen hosts oriental dance, circus acts, magic, and aerial performances. Additional plazas provide children’s games, knight tournaments, puppet shows, and Arab-themed medieval camps. However, due to an orange-level wind alert, Orihuela City Council suspended the market, itinerant markets, and outdoor activities on Saturday morning.
