Fira de la Figa in Lloret de Vistalegre: a tribute to the flavors of September
In the heart of Mallorca, as summer fades and the temperatures grow milder, the village of Lloret de Vistalegre takes center stage with one of the island's most unique fairs: the Fira des Sequer, where the fig is the undisputed star. This event, held every September, pays homage to figs and is a must for anyone who wishes to experience the most authentic essence of Mallorcan culture and gastronomy.
The fig, a fruit of tradition and memory
For centuries, the fig has been a staple in the Mallorcan diet. Its harvest marks the end of summer and the beginning of a new agricultural cycle. At the Fira de la Figa, visitors can taste this fruit in all its forms: fresh, dried, in jams, cakes, charcuterie, and even in savory dishes that surprise with their creativity.
The fair not only celebrates gastronomy, but also serves as a meeting point where local farmers showcase different varieties of figs cultivated on the island — from the sweetest to the most intense.
An event for the whole family
The Fira de la Figa is designed for all audiences. Throughout the day, the streets of Lloret de Vistalegre are filled with:
- Gastronomic stalls offering local and organic products.
- Workshops and activities for children, where the little ones learn to prepare simple recipes with figs or discover the importance of this fruit in traditional agriculture.
- Exhibitions and contests that reward the best culinary creations or the most outstanding specimens.
The festive atmosphere is completed with live music, traditional dances, and the chance to wander through a village that has preserved the charm of rural Mallorca.
September: the month of fairs
The Fira de la Figa is part of a wider calendar of events that bring Mallorca's villages to life in September. It is the time of year when the island shows its most authentic face, allowing visitors to take part in local celebrations, far from the large tourist crowds.
Visiting Lloret de Vistalegre during these dates is also an opportunity to enjoy its natural surroundings, with walking and cycling routes through fields of almond trees, fig trees, and olive groves.
