foodie events

There is always something going on in Mallorca in the way of food and drink.. and one of SkyBlue Mallorca's missions it to keep you abreast with all the events before they happen - so you don't miss a single one! We have already covered numerous events this year, 2009, and well, today is only the 1st of April.. ! So far we have had the FEVI 2009, (wine fair); Alimenta 2009 (food and drink fair), our own exclusive SkyBlue Mallorca wine tasting, to name just 3 of the bigger ones!

A very well know gastronomic event which takes place every year is the Mostra de Cuina. Previously, this event has taken on the form of a fair; it has taken place over a few days at a particular venue and participating restaurants had a stand where you could go and try some of their cusine at very affordable prices. This year will be different: this year Restauració want you to experience the restaurants themselves by going to visit them and being able to enjoy a set menu, again at very affordable prices, and they have organised several routes across the island to enable you to do so.
