The local gastronomy of the Balearic Islands, with ‘llonguet’ as its flagship, is the star of a new edition of its fair on Sunday the 30th of April in Es Pil\u00b7lar\u00ed, Palma<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ‘Fira del Llonguet’<\/a> (‘Llonguet’ Fair) is a unique opportunity to sample a typical type of bread roll from Palma, the ‘llonguet’. Five Mallorcan artisan bakeries<\/strong> display them stuffed with a variety of sausages, such as sobrasada, cheese, anchovies and prawns. There will also be seven food trucks<\/strong>, two craft beer stalls, a craft distillery and around fifty craft stalls<\/strong>. The Fair is complemented by performances by ‘xeremiers’, shows, children’s workshops, a children’s play area and street artists<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This exhibition, which has a strong traditional and artisan character, was born as a neighbourhood initiative<\/strong> and has already become consolidated in the calendar of fairs in the city. Up to 15,000 people are expected to attend<\/strong> over the course of the day, which is why the council has declared it to be of municipal public interest<\/strong>, so that it can provide the municipal services necessary for it to be held properly.<\/p>\n

Traffic restrictions during the weekend<\/h2>\n

Organised by the Asociaci\u00f3n de vecinos d’Es Pil-lar\u00ed, with the collaboration of Palma City Council and the ‘Asociaci\u00f3n de Pasteleros y Panaderos de las Illes Balears’ (Association of Confectioners and Bakers of the Balearic Islands), it is held between 9 am and 6 pm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The ‘Fira del Llonguet’ has 700 linear metres distributed in a circular route and runs along the streets Muntanya, Roncal, Martina Pascual, Josep Tom\u00e0s i Renter\u00eda and Sor Damiana, which will be closed to traffic this weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The forecast is that there will be around 70 sales<\/strong>, displays or exhibitions in which the traditional bread of the city will be the protagonist, as well as local and km 0 products.<\/p>\n

To facilitate access, 11,000 square metres<\/strong> have been set aside for vehicle parking in three park-and-ride lots. In addition, line 31 of the Municipal Transport Company (EMT)<\/strong>, which usually connects this area of the city, will be more frequent (it will run every 20 minutes)<\/strong>, to facilitate the arrival of all those who decide to travel using public transport.<\/p>\n

Programme<\/h2>\n

Food trucks, music, tradition, entertainment, parades, show cooking… make up the programme of activities for this particular fair<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
