Selva celebrates the fourth herb fair

The town of Selva will hold this weekend the fourth herb fair, organised by the promoters of the Jardí Medicinal "Ramon Llull" in Selva. Like the three first years, this agricultural, ecological and cultural fair will include all kinds of activities relating to herbs: exhibition and sale of products based on herbs, tastings, conferences about herbs...

The most original part of the fair will be the public distillation of myrtle water, in the middle of the town square, on Sunday 8 at twelve noon, within the Fair. The myrtle will have been collected from the woods of the Caimari Commune, and will be taken to Selva in a decorated cart, accompanied by the 'xeremiers' musicians. Myrtle water from Mallorca used to be well known as a cosmetic centuries ago all over Europe. A limited number of bottles of artisan production of Myrtle water, herb liqueur and Sant Joan oil will be sold.
