Torrejón de Ardoz is preparing for a journey through time with the new edition of its Goyesque Market, which from April 24 to 26 will transform the Central Zone into a vibrant 18th-century setting.

Plaza Mayor and Hospital and Enmedio streets will be the heart of this historical recreation, hosting over a hundred stalls. These will offer a wide range of period-appropriate items and tools, from Elizabethan jewelry and crafts to ceramics, traditional footwear, and products such as creams, soaps, miniature books, freshly baked bread, watches, and candles. Visitors will also be able to enjoy a diverse selection of artisanal food.
The market, spanning over 7,000 square meters, promises a complete immersion into Spain of 1812, thanks to a meticulously designed ambiance intended to transport attendees back to that era.
Throughout the three days of the event, numerous activities have been scheduled for all ages. The offerings include parades, combat training demonstrations, impressive fire shows, falconry exhibitions, puppet shows, and small theatrical performances that will enliven the streets.
Opening hours will be as follows: on Friday, April 24, from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM; on Saturday, April 25, from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM and from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM; and on Sunday, April 26, from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM and from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
