A gastronomic fair celebrating the Mallorcan sardine
The fair was created with the aim of bringing local sardines closer to both residents and visitors while strengthening their presence in Mallorcan restaurants.
The II Fira de la Sardina has been officially declared an event of municipal public interest by Palma City Council, recognising the social, cultural and economic impact of an initiative that connects the harbour with the local community.
