The Mallorcan fair season is in full swing now that November has arrived. The fairs are a celebration of harvests and agricultural commerce, and many of Majorca’s towns and villages find some product that their fair is then based on. We have already experienced the Sobradassa (Mallorcan sausage) fair in Campos, and the Llampuga (local dolphin fish) Fair in Cala Ratjada.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This month, get set for a wealth of countryside delicacies, from mushrooms, to honey, and the more famous olives and grapes that are cultivated on Majorca.<\/p>\n

\"Autumn<\/a>The Dijous Bo in Inca, the most important autumn fair on the Island, is held every year usually the third Thursday in November, after the three autumn fairs and the fiesta of Santa Maria la Major. Every year the fair has a massive participation, both by exhibitors and visitors from all over Mallorca, and even from other islands.<\/p>\n

The programme of events includes a whole range of cultural and sporting activities that start the previous Sunday with the reading of the proclamation, although the central part of the programme takes place on the Wednesday and especially on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Amongst the events organised every year, the morphological contest of the black Mallorcan pig stands out, plus the fair of the mule and the exhibition of autochthonous breeds, which opens on Wednesday afternoon in the Plaza del Bestiar, and the Exhibition of Commerce organised by the Shopkeepers Association of Inca that starts on the same Wednesday in the centre of the city.<\/p>\n
