The 10th Fira de l’Arròs Pobler returns to Sa Pobla to celebrate one of the town’s most emblematic agricultural products: the rice grown in the wetlands of s’Albufera. More than a gastronomic fair, it is a tribute to local identity, agricultural heritage, music and community life.
This year’s edition pays special homage to the Marjaleres of Sa Pobla, the women who worked the marshlands with dedication and resilience. The programme also includes major cultural events such as the 30th Meeting of Xeremiers and the Luthiers Fair, as well as the 28th Gathering of Gegants, which has been recognised as a Festival of Cultural Interest.
From 15 to 30 November, Sa Pobla offers a rich programme of cultural activities, music, exhibitions, gastronomy and routes celebrating its natural heritage.
The main weekend of the fair will take place on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 November.
