"VI Fira de s'Oliva" in Caimari

Caimari, small village of Selva, is celebrating the sixth edition of the "Olive Oil Fair" dedicated to olives and the production of oil. Amongst the activities already held, worth stressing is the presentation by the Balearic Minister for Education, Francesc Fiol, of the book "Parc Etnològic de Caimari. Guia de visita", by Antoni Ordinas Garau.

The Ethnological Parc of Caimari is an open air museu presenting traditional rural tools and constructions such as a "sitja" of charcoal, a "forn de calç" (lime kiln), a "coll de tords" (special bird trap)... and as a novelty, a "casa de neu" (snow house), a new element that will be officially presented coinciding with the opening of the fair, on Saturday, November 15, at 4 p.m.

This Park, together with the oil presses of Oli Caimari and the new "trencadora d'ametles" (almond huller) in Ca na Bielona, will be most crowded places on the fair and will continue open all day Sunday 16. There will also be demonstration and tasting activities, an exhibition of animals, old cars and bikes, and many other activities.
