The Christmas spirit has already invaded Vila Nova de Famalicão with all the magic and joy of the season. The traditional Christmas Market is, this year, set up near the Praça, right in the heart of the city, with dozens of exhibitors. There, visitors will find a wide range of products, from handicrafts to sweets, sausages, drinks, fashion, toys and jewellery.
There is no lack of ideas for those looking for an original present, or simply for those who want to take a stroll and appreciate the small wooden houses occupied by the most diverse producers and artisans.
Mayor Mário Passos, who could not resist the call of shopping, has already visited the market, which will be open until January 9th. "Christmas is the most magical time of the year and, for many families, it is a tradition to visit the Market and do their shopping here, but also to enjoy this magnificent environment, marked by music, light and hot chocolate”, said the mayor.
The Christmas Market is open Monday to Friday, Sundays and public holidays from 14h00 to 20h00 and Saturdays from 10h00 to 20h00.
