In Sa Pobla, like other areas around S'Albufera, rice farming is traditional. But here the variety is the bombeta rice, commonly known as arròs pobler, a product to which this fair which is now celebrating its fortyn edition, is dedicated.
The fair is celebrated on 24 and 25 November, with activities starting on Friday 16. In addition, it is combined with the gastronomic proposal Menjar bé a sa Pobla from 16 to 25 November, in which participate 20 bars and restaurants Of Sa Pobla with menus and special dishes. In the related document you can find all the premises with the dishes they offer.
