October and November are the months when mycologists go to the woods to look for esclata-sangs (chanterelles), an essential ingredient in the autumn kitchen of Mallorca. BiniARRELS sa Fira de Mancor is a fair dedicated to popular culture, crafts, Mallorcan traditions, especially those of Mancor de la Vall, and gastronomy, of which the symbol at this time of year is the esclata sang.
The fair is organized by Arrels and is held on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 November, but the activities begin a few days before. Among the activities highlights the exhibition 10 anys cavallets that takes place in Son Morro.
