Night Market and exhibition about stone work in Alaior

The "Mercat de Nit" in Alaior, promoted by the Town Council, has been working since the end of June. Every Wednesday, until September 3, the artisan products will occupy the streets Major and Forn offering tourists and residents alike, a select and varied range of objects in ceramic, leather, cotton, silver... Live demonstrations and different workshops complement the fair, that takes place between 7 and 11 p.m. approx.

Another important activity that can be carried out this summer in Alaior is the visit to the exhibition "De Pedra" organised by the Centre d'Estudis Locals, in the Sant Diego cultural centre, until October 17. The exhibition offers an educational trip about the world of stone, from the geological, ethnological and artistic points of view, stressing the importance of this element along the history of the Island.

The exhibition can be visited every day, except Mondays, from Wednesday to Friday morning and afternoon (10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m.). Tuesdays and Sundays only in the evening and on Saturdays only in the morning.
