In this fiesta the protagonist is the fig, one of the most typical and abundant products of Lloret de Vistalegre. This fruit, considered in Ancient Greece as a delicacy of the gods, is present in art exhibitions, book presentations, the extensive range of stands (fresh figs, dried figs, jam, fig ice cream, fig coca ...) and the Figatapa, which offers pinchos and tapas made with figs in the bars of Lloret.
The day of the fiesta is Saturday, September 1, but the program begins on Sunday, August 26, with different activities related to this delicious fruit.
