The Plaza del Pilar, the back door of the Lonja, the Plaza San Bruno or the balcony of San Lázaro, among many other locations, they monopolize all the eyes since Friday. It is not for less, there have up to 130 craft stalls that will make Zaragozanos and visitors travel for another year to the medievo with the Market of the Three Cultures with the presence of Christian, Jewish and Muslim roots.
“We come every year. I usually buy an anklet of one of the artisan stalls that lasts for me all summer and then we always chop something else,” they recognized two young people who have made their purchases as soon as the market opens this Friday. Precisely, in the first hour an inaugural parade has already taken place with traditional instruments and a characterization that many attendees have immortalized with their phones.
In the Square of the Pilar The so -called camp of the three cultures has been installed. There, among others, the position of the coins of luck has been framed. “Here we coin coins. We have from the Virgen del Pilar, for example. You have to choose two designs and we make the currency of a single hammer,” recognized his artisan.

Both in this and in other spaces 200 activities are scheduled. Some of the most striking will be carried out at night, in the surroundings of the Plaza San Bruno. In addition, another of the great attractions is always food. “We make artisanal masses as pregnant bulllitos that is a typical north dish,” they explained from one of the workshops.
Streeting among the Jewish neighborhood, located around the SEO, another man proudly showed some of the products to which he had not been able to resist. “We usually come every year. We like it and entertain us a lot. We have also found a product of my land, from Extremadura, and we have not been able to buy it,” he said.
From San Lázaro balcony to Plaza San Bruno
Distributed by emblematic spaces – Plaza del Pilar, rear of La Lonja, Plaza de la Seo, San Bruno, Palafox Street, Arc del Deán, Puente de Piedra and Balcón de San Lázaro -, the market will deploy more than 130 craft stalls, agri -food, taverns and Arab jaimas, accompanied by exhibitions, children’s areas and workshops for all ages.
“It is true that at any time you can participate in specific activities and workshops. In the end it is very important to recover what the offices of the time were and see the value of crafts,” said the Minister of Culture, Sara Fernández.
The three cultures market will open Friday and Saturday from 11.00 to 01.00; and Sunday from 11.00 to 00.00 hours, although in the posts there will be a daily break between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
