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 sixth edition, is dedicated.
The fair is celebrated on 27 and 28 November, with activities starting on Friday 19. In addition, it is combined with the gastronomic proposal Menjar bé a sa Pobla from 19 to 28 November, in which participate bars and restaurants Of Sa Pobla with menus and special dishes.
