Annual Lanzarote Craft Fair opens at Mancha Blanca

The annual Lanzarote Craft Fair opened yesterday at Mancha Blanca. The event features over 140 participants in the marquees erected for the occasion.

This year’s edition celebrates the sombreros of La Graciosa and Lanzarote – beautiful palm-woven items that have become an emblem of the islands. However, there will be a vast range of other crafts to enjoy, as well as a special appearance by crafters from Uruguay.

Cabildo President Oswaldo Betancort invited everyone who is visiting Mancha Banca in the next few days for the fiestas of Los Dolores to come to the fair and buy traditional, local products.

The fair is open from today until Tuesday the 15^th of September, from 10.30 am to 9.30 pm.

If you do plan to visit the fair, be aware of the road closures that are in place on Saturday and Sunday morning to ensure the safety of thousands of pilgrims who will be converging on Mancha Blanca for the celebrations on Saturday evening.
