Artisan market in Gata de Gorgos brings live music, bbq and charity support

An artisan market celebrating handmade crafts, live music and community spirit is set to take place in Gata de Gorgos this October, offering residents and visitors a relaxed afternoon out in a peaceful garden setting. The event will be held on Sunday, October 4, from 1:00pm to 6:00pm at La Concordia Secret Garden, located on Avenida Pau 12 in Gata de Gorgos, a town that is located just a short drive from Marina Alta hubs like Pedreguer, Denia and Javea.

A relaxed afternoon in a secret garden

Taking centre stage in the market will be a showcase of artisan goods, including Karla’s Creative Crochet Crossbody Bags. These handcrafted pieces are made from 100 per cent organic Spanish cotton, are both practical and stylish, and are expected to be one of the main draws of visitors to the market. Durable, washable and hypoallergenic, the bags aim to offer a hands-free solution for everyday life while doubling as wearable art by well-known, talented local artisan Karla the Crochet Queen.

Handmade crafts, food, music and raffle fun for all ages

Aside from shopping, the event will have a lively and welcoming atmosphere for all ages. Visitors can enjoy a savoury barbecue, live music performances and a selection of coffee and homemade cakes, in a laid-back social environment, as the afternoon progresses. A raffle will also be held, giving attendees the chance to win a range of prizes and have fun with other participants.

Supporting a vital social cause in the community

The market is also supporting Samaritans in Spain, a local non-profit organisation that offers emotional care and companionship to English-speaking people in Spain over the age of 18 who are going through difficult times. Organisers of the market have emphasised that the event will be accessible and inclusive, ensuring everyone can take part and enjoy the experience.

With its combination of local craftsmanship, entertainment, good food, and solidarity, the Artisan Market in Gata de Gorgos in October will offer more than just a shopping trip for residents and visitors. It will provide an opportunity to connect with the community, discover unique handmade products, help people in need, and spend a few hours in one of the area’s most stunning outdoor venues.
