The event, aiming to be a meeting point for enthusiasts and the curious, will take place on Saturday, September 12, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Sunday, September 13, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The fair will feature associations, collectives, artisans, producers, commercial establishments, and hobbyists, fostering the exchange of knowledge and experiences.
Attendees will be able to view and purchase unique objects and collections, as well as bring their own pieces for the designated exchange points. The initiative seeks to recover memories and highlight the historical value of small objects that are part of personal, family, and collective memory.
The program will be complemented by workshops, activities for children and youth, tastings of local products, and a prominent space for regional crafts, customs, and popular culture.
“"Come this weekend to La Atalaya, because, in addition to being a fair, which is always an attractive way to spend time and acquire products outdoors, it will be a meeting point for enthusiasts of one of the most interesting leisure and, in many cases, professional activities, such as collecting, which unites generations around common interests, and is a way to educate and transmit through the history of objects. There are no large or small collections, more or less interesting; all have a place in Guía Coleccciona, and we await you with whatever you wish to bring to the fair to discover them."
The fair is promoted by the Ayuntamiento de Guía with the collaboration of PFAEs El Cambullón and Guía Te Conecta, the #UP2U Project – Depende de Ti Association, and Casa del Coleccionista. The participation of #UP2U Project adds an educational and social dimension, aiming to introduce young people in vulnerable situations to cultural heritage through objects.
With this first edition, the council adds a new initiative to its calendar, highlighting collecting as a hobby for studying and transmitting local history and customs.
