Fira del Fang - 40 years of living culture is the motto of the new edition of this fair that this year celebrates its fortieth anniversary. From March 1 to 9, the Verónica de Sant Marçal immerses us in a world of creativity, craftsmanship and tradition where ceramics is the undisputed protagonist.
The Fira del Fang is one of the most outstanding fairs in the sector – it was awarded the National Ceramics Award in 2013 by the Spanish Association of Ceramic Cities – and an essential event to learn about the work of ceramic artisans not only from Marratxí, where clay is a hallmark, also of the rest of Mallorca and the peninsula. A unique opportunity to purchase all types of clay pieces, from kitchen utensils to decorative objects, toys or artistic pieces.
In addition to being able to visit the stands of the participating ceramists, the fair has an extensive program of parallel activities that takes place throughout the ten days that the fair lasts.
