On Wednesday 24, in the
Trading
estate in Palma, the XX 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 with collaboration by the Mallorca
Insular Council, the Balearic Government, the Palma Town Council, the
Chamber of Commerce and several companies.
Over 10 days, until April 2, twenty-two restaurants, three cooking
schools, nine wine cellars, and six pastry makers, amongst other
collaborators, will serve this year 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.
Visiting times are from 12:30 to 16:00 h. and from 19:00 to 23:00
h.
