The Porreres Apricot Fair is all set for its 13th edition, which has gradually established itself as one of the most special events on the calendar. This Saturday, the town's streets will be filled with colour, flavour, and creativity, with the apricot as the undisputed main and sole star.

No clucking, no cooing, no hooting, no crowing, no nervousness from the decoy hunters, not even a single feather. This has been the dominant theme at the Montuïri Partridge Fair this morning. All the hustle and bustle of hunters and decoy hunters has turned into heated discussions about the absence of partridges and the refusal of the Regional Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Agriculture to allow the 46th edition of the Montuïri Partridge Fair due to the restrictions imposed by the avian flu health crisis.
