The XXXIII Fira d'artesania de Pollença has as its protagonist raffia, a natural very resistant fiber with which bags, carpets and many objects of home decoration are made. In addition to the exposició de Rafia, shown in the Sala de Plenos of the City Hall, there will be workshops to learn how to make slings and accessories with this fiber.
It is one of the activities of the Fira d'artesania, held from November 11 to 14 and covers a wide range of proposals for all ages and tastes. In the Cloister of Sant Domingo the traditional fair will be installed, while elsewhere in Pollença there will be multiple activities such as I Eco Fira Pollença III or Cervesàrium Pollença, a sample of beer.
