December 10 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 monthly artisan market, the Mercado artesanal del Mar Menor, but in December, either side of two national holidays, it is taking place twice, on the first and second Sundays 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 on December 10 the craftsmen and women displaying their wares are Susana Hernández (natural cosmetics), Laura Romero (hand-painted t-shirts), Fran Bueno (handbags), Gloria Candel (decoraction), “Hadas de Papel” (handicrafts), Anna Cambín (recycled décor), Carolina Giménez (recycled décor), Cesar Honorato (marble), Daily Hernández (complements), Encarna Heredia (textiles), Escolástica Gomáriz (esparto), Eulalia García (handicrafts), Fina Saura (baby clothes), Isabel Lorca (paintings), Juan José Mayol (esparto), Luis Turiques (handicrafts), María Estefanía Turiques (dolls), María José Saura (jewellery), Olga Gascón (dolls), Raquel Asensio (natural products), Rosa María Martínez (natural products), Wendi Gonsalves (polimerized ceramics), Wilson Aguilar (South American jewellery)..
