A little background
he origins of the Valdoviño Medieval Fair date back to the 1950s, when farmers and craftsmen from the region would come to the town of Valdoviño to trade and sell their goods. As in so many other municipalities in A Coruña, this itinerant commercial activity grew out of the agricultural calendar and livestock fairs, establishing itself over the generations as one of the town’s most important social and economic gatherings.
With the arrival of the 21st century and the economic transformation of rural areas, Valdoviño’s occasional market evolved: it gave way to large textile and footwear stalls, incorporated vendors from other provinces, and became professionalized under municipal regulations. Many of today’s market traders are third- or fourth-generation members of families who have been attending this event for decades, maintaining a direct link to the city’s commercial fabric.
Today, the Valdoviño Medieval Fair retains that folk essence while adapting to new trends: organic products, contemporary crafts, local cuisine, and a close relationship with consumers that large shopping centers cannot offer. The town council and the vendors’ association collaborate to preserve its traditional character in the very heart of Valdoviño.
