The Old City Merchants Association and the A Coruña City Council prepare the celebration of a event at Christmas that can compensate for the impact of not being able to carry out during this month of July the medieval fair, the Fair of the Wonders. The entity has decided the definitive suspension of an event that in recent years served as a preamble to the María Pita festivities. She valued the possibility of postponement to September, but given the uncertainty of the health situation she preferred cancellation.
Now, the local government of A Coruña and the Merchants Association are studying what type of event can be held at Christmas, with the ability to attract the public. The president of the entity, Adolfo Lopez, points out that the idea is advanced, although he prefers not to reveal it. She points out that financing will be the key to closing its celebration: “We are in talks with the City Council to see if we can create something, a pole of attraction, for Christmas, we are studying it, we have the collaboration of the. City Council and we are thinking about it “
The Association of Merchants of the Old City notes a significant decrease in the number of tourists who walk these days through the historic center. Adolfo López points out that the regulars have arrived in A Coruña in summer, many of them from Madrid.
In addition to the Feira das Marabillas, the association has also decided to cancel the contest of craft beer. In this case, the producers themselves have argued for the suspension. Added to the health situation is the low production this year due to the restrictions established for months on all types of activities.
