The market takes place in the iconic Riurau de Jesús Pobre, a traditional structure closely linked to the raisin-making culture of the region. These buildings were originally used to protect grapes during the drying process, an activity that played a key role in the economy of the Marina Alta during the 19th century 🌿
Today, this historic setting has been transformed into a vibrant place where local producers keep that connection with the land and local traditions alive 🍇
