"Mercat de Nit" and "Oficis en l'Oblit" in Alaior

The "Mercat de Nit" in Alaior, promoted by the Town Council, has been working since the end of June. Every Wednesday, until August 28, the artisan products will occupy the streets Carrer Major, del Forn and Sa Plaça in Alaior offering tourists and residents alike, a select and varied range of objects in ceramic, leather, cotton, silver... Live performances 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 "Forgotten Trades" that is being held in the Centre de Cultura de Sant Diego. The ethnological exhibition will remain open until September 30, and offers an educational trip round some twenty traditional trades that have or have almost disappeared. 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 Saturdays only in the morning and Sundays only in the evening.
