March 3 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 stallholders on this occasion are Susana Hernández (natural cosmetics), Laura Romero (painted t-shirts), Fran Bueno (handbags), Gloria Candel (decoration), Dulces Brocal (sweet pastries), Ana Andrades (handicrafts), Anna Gambín (recycled goods), Cesar Honorato (marble), Daily Hernández (accessories), Encarna Heredia (textiles), Eulalia García (handicrafts), Eusebia Bolea (pet accessories), Fina Saura (baby clothes), Ginesa Torres (textiles), Inma Alcáraz (gluten-free sweets), José Martínez (honey and beeswax), Margaita García (handicrafts), Mari Carmen Cerezo (therapeutic herbs), María José Saura (jewellery), Natalia López (handbags), Rocío González (macramé), Rosa María Martínez (natural products), Wendy Goncalves (parametric ceramics), Wilson Aguilar (South American jewellery).
