In Sa Pobla, like other areas around S'Albufera, rice is traditionally grown. But here the variety is bombeta rice, commonly called arròs pobler, a product to which this fair is dedicated, which is now celebrating its ninth edition.
The Fira de l’arrós pobler is much more than a display of Sa Pobla's agricultural and gastronomic heritage, it is a space to enjoy coexistence and citizen participation.
The IX Fira de l'arròs pobler is held on November 23 and 24, with activities from Wednesday 13. From November 15 to 24, Menjar bé a sa Pobla 2024 takes place.
