On April 18, in the
Trading
estate in Palma, the XVII edition of the Mallorcan Food Fair will open.
It is the most important and popular gastronomic activity of all those
held in the Balearics, organised by the
Associació
Empresarial de Restauració de Mallorca.
Over 10 days, until April 27, twenty-three restaurants, four cooking
schools, two distilleries, eight wine cellers, five pastry makers and three
coffee toasters, amongst other collaborators, will serve tables this year
to nearly 70,000 people who usually attend the Fair to tickle their palates
with new and traditional dishes of the island's gastronomy.
But over and above the strictly culinary aspect, the "Mostra de Cuina"
is also a cultural forum. In this sense, during the present edition there
will be a programme of conferences and wine tasting, that will inform the
attending public about important and attractive aspects of the gastronomic
and oenological culture of Mallorca.
Full programme of conferences in the
Catalan
and
Spanish
version of the news.
