Shows in the Medieval Market of Mondoñedo in Galicia
The villa of Mondoñedo, which you find northeast of the province of Lugo, near Ribadeo, was one of the seven ancient capitals of the Kingdom of Galicia, and well worth a visit for its monumental complex, where its cathedral, known as Basilica of the Assumption.
But if there is a time when Mondoñedo takes us to other historical eras is undoubtedly during the celebration of his Medieval Market, which is celebrated every year on the second weekend of August, and that I have had occasion to visit during my trip to Galicia 2012.
From Friday afternoon to Sunday, the streets and squares of Mondoñedo are decorated in a medieval atmosphere, with flags and banners, and a market with stands of all kinds of products, where gastronomic and artisanal stand out.
Likewise, the thousands of visitors who walk through its streets, are welcomed by the residents of the town who have dressed for the occasion with medieval clothing.
During that lively walk you can enjoy with shows juggling or falconry, developed in the center of the Plaza de la Mondoneño Cathedral. You can even see a medieval wedding carried out by a characterized Bishop of Mondoñedo.
The stalls with sweets and artisan breads and local wine, and the octopus prepared by the typical pulpeiras, will allow you to enjoy the gastronomy of the area.
If you have not yet had the chance to live the atmosphere of a typical medieval market, here you have a gallery of Photos of the Medieval Market of Mondoñedo, in Galicia.
