- This year, the Christmas market of Altea in the recently renovated Avenida de la Comunidad Valenciana, just 50 metres from the large free car park, so that visitors can park practically „on the doorstep”.

The result is surprising: Joseph is made of fabric, the shepherd and his sheep are made of ceramic, one of the Magi is made of soap, another is made of wood and the ox is made of welded horseshoes. The market opens on Friday 5 December from 18:00 to 21:00; Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 11:00 to 21:00. A perfect opportunity to buy or order Christmas presents so that you can find something original, lovingly made and handcrafted.
