A new appointment to the Middle Ages is convened from 11 to 14 December in Gines, just 15 minutes from Seville, about its XVIII Medieval and Christmas Market. It is, in fact, one of the most spectacular in the province for the multitude of parades, entertainment and shows that hosts over four days.
The inauguration, which will take place on Thursday 11 at 18:15, will include the Christmas proclamation by Pepi Domínguez Jiménez in the theater El Tronío. This will be followed by a grand parade with musicians, dragons, jugglers and magical characters.
From 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., fantastic characters are expected to wander around the market. From goblins to jesters, the Comepiedras or the friar Marcelino. In addition, there will be a fire show and will enliven the evening various traveling music groups that will bring us sounds of other times.
