LES NITS DEL CASTELL

Painters and artisans return from tonight, like every summer season, to the historic center of Benidorm in a new edition of 'Les Nits del Castell'. An initiative of the Department of Commerce that aims to boost the offer of an emblematic area of the Castle during the summer.

This year, as a consequence of the COVID 19 pandemic and the exceptional measures dictated in matters of health and safety, the minimum separation and safety distances between posts must be kept, as dictated by the 2020 Resolution of the Consellería de Sanidad Universal y of Public Health, which establishes the conditions for the opening of non-sedentary sales markets in the Valencian Community.

Plaza Castellar will host painters, including 2 portraitists, 6 cartoonists and a landscape painter, who will stay until September 30 from 7:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

The artisans, all of them with the corresponding accreditation, will be located in the Plaza de la Señoría until September 15 with the same schedule. Among the stalls are items of jewelry in sterling silver and precious stones, miniatures and hair clips made of resin and silver, leather and steel jewelry, cold porcelain ornaments, handmade soaps, macramé, crafts with marine crystals and beads, leather necklaces and precious stones, or crystal pendants with stone and mother of pearl.

In addition, the Benidorm Association for the Disabled (ASMIBE) will have a booth where it will display fans, bookbinding and leather goods. The position of a local craftsman who is dedicated to making original clocks with different shapes and materials will also be installed again: wood, sheet metal, plastics, zamak, glass, etc; as well as an artisan from Benidorm who works with polymer clay: necklaces, earrings and bracelets of mother of pearl and sea shells.

The artisans come from municipalities such as Benidorm, Finestrat, Villajoyosa, La Nucía, Alfaz del Pí and Alicante.
