12th of June Selva Herb Fair

Selva Herb Fair is actually one of the nicest fairs on the island of Mallorca to visit. A giant distillation aparatus is set up in the square and young and old get up early on the morning of the fair and walk into the surrounding countryside to collect Myrtle which is then distilled over the best part of the day. Myrtle water was exported from Selva all over the island and even into the world beyond Mallorca in the olden days. Myrtle water was famous and used as a disinfectant, as an Eau de Cologne or as a Splash to make your house entrance smell lovely and clean! So with our soaps, handmade cosmetics and Body Splashes we are in the right place to continue in the tradition.
During the morning the famous mallorquin Giants leave their place in the Town hall which is right in the square and march around the village.

Gaia Natural Products will be in the square with a stand  and it will be our 6th year there and it is our personal favorite event of the year.
