On the third Sunday in December, a group of associations gather and work together to offer visitors a Christmas market with a difference. The market is organic, local and supports initiatives in favour of the environment and the local community.  With Christmas traditions and local legends as a backdrop, come and enjoy the stalls offering crafts, local produce as well as organically grown produce. The mascot of the day is the Polminhac goose that will provide musical entertainment before later setting alight the “soca de nadal”, a traditional Christmas totem.  Christmas festivities with a twist and that the whole family will enjoy.
