Authors WebsiteMedieval Times is located just off the 192 near the Wal mart. Your journey begins by walking around the old medieval village which has 8 cottages and you can see a display of crafts, tools and especially memorable torture devices. There is a moat and a drawbridge, then you enter the castle and you are greeted by King Alfonso and the Princess Esperanza and you receive a colored crown corresponding to area of the arena you will be seated in and the Knight you are cheering for during the show.
Once you are seated you are served with your meal, by the serfs and wenches. It is a meal fit for a king, first course of garlic bread followed by vegetable soup which is served in the old style pewter bowls. The next course is roast chicken, spare ribs and a baked potato, there is no cutlery and you have to eat with your hands, there are plenty of serviettes. The atmosphere is great and whilst you’re eating the tournament begins.
There are 6 brave knights and they are competing for the Princesses hand they are riding fantastic Andalusian horses which are magnificent. When they first come into the arena they all have flowers and they come over to their area of the arena and through the flowers to the crowd. Everybody cheers for their Knight and the Knights stand in front of their areas and encourages their supporters to cheer and boo the bad knights. They have to compete in flag tossing, ring piercing and javelin throwing. Finally they compete in the Joust they are in full armour and when they are knocked off their horse they have to carry on fighting with their swords. It is really good fun for all ages.
Once the show is over you can visit The Knight Club which has a full bar, lively music and a dance floor. This is where you’ll meet the Royal family; they sign autographs and pose for pictures. There are suits of armor, highly detailed swords, shields and medieval banners line the walls.
An excellent show and it is within walking distance of our villa Sunny Seasons just down the road.
