February 25 Artisan market of the Mar Menor in Santiago de la Ribera

The market is held on the seafront of the Explanada Barnuevo alongside the Mar Menor

Santiago de la Ribera in the municipality of San Javier usually hosts a bi-monthly artisan market, the Mercado Artesanal del Mar Menor, and the first such event takes place in February on the second Sunday of the month. 

Around 40 stalls are open selling hand-made items from across the Region of Murcia, with a wide range of hand-crafted products, all from genuine regional artisans - as an added bonus it is in a seafront setting on the Explanada Barnuevo, making it an even more attractive proposition for a trip out followed by a coffee or a walk along the seafront.

The market is open from 10.00 until 14.00 and the variety of products includes natural cosmetics, painted t-shirts, handpags, decoration, arts and crafts, reycling, sweet pastries, arts and crafts, accessories, textiles, paintings), beeswax and honey, esparto grass, jewellery, decoration, herbal medicine and ceramics.
