Events Fira de Sineu

Sineu celebrates every first Sunday in May its agricultural, cattle and handicraft art fair, which attracts numerous visitors. Traditionally, the market was a feast of farmers and ranchers, during which the peasants of the whole island came to the village to sell their products and buy tools and livestock.
