Porrats / Medevil Market Fiesta in Oliva

In the Valencian language, “porrats” are fairs selling a great variety of products (sweets, salted fish and meat, honey). They are of medieval origin and the first is the “porrat” of Sant Antoni celebrated in January, in which there is the ritual blessing of animals ­ formerly work animals but now household pets.

On January 17 Oliva celebrates the "Porrat" of San Antonio in the Plaza de San Roque. It is a medieval market with stalls selling beautiful handmade arts and crafts as well as lots of food stalls. Traditional caldera or stew made from local vegetables is passed around throughout the festivities.

Stalls are set up in the streets of the old town and we can savour traditional dishes such as the “pa benet” (“blessed bread”) or the stew prepared with locally-grown vegetables.

They also take advantage of this fiesta to celebrate a medieval market with live shows in the streets and different fun activities. In February they celebrate the “porrat” of San Blas, set up in the Plaza de Enguix with children’s games.


From: 15/01/2011 until: 17/01/2011
