The Mijas Agriculture Fair will have an additional attraction, a craft market run by the Mijas Craft Association, in which up to seven artisans will display items including jewellery, wood, ceramics and varnish. According to the councillor for Agriculture, Juan Carlos Maldonado (PMP), "from the department we wanted to involve the artisan sector in the fair because of its economic and cultural importance in Mijas". Likewise, the councillor pointed out that "a representation of the artisans will participate in this fair showing the great heritage that Mijas has, its craftwork, which is the best in the province of Malaga and I am proud to say this".
A total of 7 artisans from various fields will exhibit their pieces in the different stands that will be set up on Saturday and Sunday, from 10:30 to 21 hours, in the Cortijo Don Elías in Las Lagunas.
