MEDIEVAL FAIR Jerica (from June 29 to July 1)

One of the biggest attractions of Jérica is to assist to the traditional Medieval Fair, where the streets of the old town dress in fabrics, flags, and all kinds of medieval decor, there are various artisans stalls, food and entertainment. In addition to all the people (or almost all) wears his own clothes medieval. It is a spectacle worthy of see.
The best way to go is by car (and the truth is the only one I know) is not far from Valencia, almost all the way it's by highway or similar. If I remember correctly shortly after passing Segorbe, there are signs indicating how to get , it's pretty close to the motorway Mudejar. (I add the google maps link).
