Medieval Fayre at Cretas

It's the annual Medieval Fayre held at Cretas this weekend so we went along on Sunday afternoon to have a look around.



We just had to buy a loaf of bread which had been made in the log burning oven brought especially for the weekend and very good bread it is too, quite different from the ordinary stuff from the supermarket.


Another purchase was a delightful bowl the same as the ones on the table, back, right. Even though they are all the same style, they are all different as they are hand made.



And to go in the new bowl, what could be better than some of these very large, full of flavour olives? Delicious!


One of the great things about this fayre is the way that the stall holders, as well as the people of the village, dress in appropriate costume. It gives the whole thing an authentic feel.






There are lots of traditional crafts going on too.




Another purchase we made was some sheep's cheese apparently from the north-west of Spain, Galicia. It travels well!


One of the other items we bought was a tub of beeswax so everything around the house will be nourished and bright and shiny soon!


This is a delightful annual event and is deservedly well supported.
