Artesanal Fairs in Mallorca


Andraitx Artesanal and Agricultural Spring Fair


I can truly say that this fair is one of the highlights of the Andraitx maybe even Mallorca calendar.
It seems to mostly fall into those first few wonderful warm days of spring and the towns people always make a special effort to show off. Not only the biggest cabbage, pumpkin etc but also price animals, competitions on who can cut cut the thinnest slice of wood from a trunk with a chain saw but also local crafts people and artists. There is amusing street theatre, lots of delicious local produced foods to try and an opportunity to say hello to all your friends and neighbours!
This is an annual fair that is traditionally held every first weekend of April!

I shall keep updating this post as the years goes on with pictures and dates for other similar fairs across our island!
A really good page on Facebook to follow to know what fairs are on when is Fires i Festes de Mallorca. 

Sa Sagrera on the Paseo in Palma has a Summer Nights Market every Thursday, Firday, Saturday 
and Sunday from 19-00 until after midnight throughout June, July, August, September and part 
of October.
