From May 16 to 18, 2025, Capdepera will transform into a medieval stage to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its iconic Capdepera Medieval Market 2025. This event, which commemorates the founding of the town in the year 1300, offers a unique experience that blends history, culture, and entertainment for the whole family.
For three days, the cobbled streets and the 14th-century castle of Capdepera will come to life with over 145 stalls of handicrafts, gastronomy, and traditional products. Visitors can enjoy demonstrations of ancient trades such as ‘llata’ (palm weaving), basketry, blacksmithing, and medieval calligraphy.
