Handicrafts, gastronomy, toys and fashion are all at the Christmas markets that line the streets of Valencia every holiday season.
If you are looking for artisan items, stop by the Craft Fair (Feria de Artesanía), located in Plaza de la Reina this year (from now until 7th January; 10.30am to 2.00pm and 4.30pm to 9.00 pm; open morning hours only on 24 and 31st December; open until midnight on 5th January).
Or visit the Colón Market Craft Show (Muestra de Artesanía), inside the market, and find everything from local cuisine to ceramics, jewellery, wood toys and leather goods (until 5th January).
The City of Arts and Sciences returns with its classic Christmas market filled with special gifts; a wide range of culinary offerings provided by food trucks; and demonstrations of traditional trades, including glassmaking, ceramics, carpentry and carvings
To find unconventional gifts, Tapinería Market is the place for you. Its vendors will host their own Christmas market, Ho, ho, ho, from 22nd December to 5th January.
The popular Three Kings Market (Mercado de Reyes) returns to the area around Cabanyal Market for last-minute gifts, open 3rd to 5th January. Opening hours are 9.00am to 10.00pm on 3rd and 4th January, and 9.00am to 5.00pm on 5th January.
Valencia Christmas Market
Circus shows, ice skating, food trucks, and artisan gastronomy: the Valencia Christmas Market is, above all, an authentic Christmas experience.
Located at the sports area of Colegio San Antonio Abad and behind Teatro la PlaZeta, the only thing missing to enjoy a Christmas in pure New York style will be snow.
