Villaviciosa de Odón is set to host this weekend, from October 23rd to 25th, the Fernando VI Market and the Local Authors Fair in the Plaza de la Constitución.

This event aims to invite residents and visitors to immerse themselves in the municipality's history, culture, and traditions. The market will be open on Friday from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and on Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
The offerings will include gastronomy, dining, crafts, and a diverse program of activities. Attendees can enjoy storytelling, theatrical performances, live music, and the presence of historical figures such as Fernando VI and Bárbara de Braganza, culminating in a masked ball to liven up the streets.
The Fernando VI Market highlights the significant historical importance of Villaviciosa de Odón, which served as the center of the Spanish Court during the final years of King Fernando VI's life. He resided and passed away in the town, which also hosted prominent noble figures of the era.
Complementing the market, the Local Authors Fair will provide an opportunity for writers from the municipality to showcase their works and sign books, fostering direct connection with the public.
