The ‘hippies’, who relocated from the Explanada to the Port of Alicante on April 4th, are now counting down to their reopening. On the Alicante port promenade, the new and vibrant stalls are situated between the Fish Market and the children’s park.
The ‘hippies’ kiosks will officially open and begin selling their distinctive artisanal products at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 11th, after more than three months of hard work.
The newly designed stalls, which are reminiscent of South Beach, Miami, feature inspiring phrases, transforming them into another tourist attraction and revitalising the sales locations.
Consequently, the wait is over, and the craft market, which was previously situated on the Explanada, will reopen its stalls “after three months of work and overcoming challenges,” they explain in a statement. They emphasise that “despite the difficulties, we have 15 stalls full of colour, hope, and creativity, offering unique and original products.”
During the day, vendors inform visitors that they can participate in activities for children, such as face painting or balloon sculptures created by a balloon artist, as well as appreciate motivational phrases printed on the stalls.
Transferring from the Explanada
Conflicts between the vendors of the Explanada and the City Council have persisted for several months. The Port Authority has announced that the vendors will be relocated to the Port Market for an initial period of one year, following their unsuccessful search for a new location.
