Medieval Market

The Mercado Medieval de Manises takes place in the Plaza de la Iglesia in this municipality, recreating the atmosphere of medieval times with food stalls, music, and historical crafts. It also features displays showing how everyday life was lived in the past, with activities for both adults and children—a popular formula adopted by various towns across the Comunitat Valenciana in autumn. The event is scheduled for 16–18 October 2026; opening times and admission prices have yet to be confirmed, so check both before visiting.

Manises, the ceramics city

Manises is best known for its ceramics tradition, centuries old and honoured by a museum dedicated to the craft in the town itself; during the medieval market, this artisanal heritage typically features among the historical crafts stalls. The municipality sits next to Valencia airport and is well connected by train to the city centre, making it easy to visit briefly without a car.
