October is here, and with it the arrival of autumn. But in Mallorca, October is actually one of the best months of the year. The high season comes to an end, prices are lower during the off-season, and the weather is at its very best \u2013 pleasantly warm (even the sea temperature!) and perfect for exploring Mallorca\u2019s villages<\/a> without the summer heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting the island\u2019s towns in October has another big advantage: many of them celebrate their traditional fairs and markets. Here\u2019s our selection of Mallorca\u2019s Gastronomic Fairs in October<\/strong> that you simply can\u2019t miss:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIRA DOL\u00c7A o FERIA DULCE<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although dessert usually comes last, in this article we\u2019ll start with something sweet. The Fira Dol\u00e7a<\/em> (Sweet Fair) will leave you amazed \u2013 and not just because of the delicious treats you\u2019ll get to taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the first Sunday of October, the town of Esporles hosts the Fira Dol\u00e7a<\/em>, now in its 16th edition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those with a sweet tooth, this fair offers a wide range of Mallorcan pastries and sweets made by local bakers, as well as desserts from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program also includes unique activities such as a Chainsaw Cutting Contest (with the Spanish champion attending), a choco-explosive cooking demo, a gluten-free cooking showcase, and an olive oil tasting. There are also drum shows (batucadas<\/em>), dimonis<\/em> (traditional fire devils), music, and children\u2019s entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t miss the first fair of October!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIRA DEL PEBRE BORD \u2013 THE PAPRIKA FAIR<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next comes one of the most traditional fairs of October in Mallorca: the Fira del Pebre Bord<\/strong><\/em> (Paprika Fair). It takes place in Felanitx in mid-October and is a great tribute to the key ingredient in one of the island\u2019s most iconic dishes<\/a>: sobrasada<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The streets of Felanitx come alive with Mallorcan spirit \u2013 traditional dances, folklore, giant figures, children\u2019s workshops, motorbike and car exhibitions, as well as industrial and craft showcases. It\u2019s definitely one of the top things to do in Mallorca in autumn<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wine tastings of typical Mallorcan varieties take place in local venues, and best of all, bars and restaurants create creative dishes using paprika, turning the town into one big tapas route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIRA DE MATAN\u00c7ES<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another deeply traditional fair is the Fira de Matan\u00e7es<\/em> in Campos, also held in mid-October. This event celebrates the Mallorcan black pig<\/em>, the star ingredient in some of the island\u2019s most traditional dishes \u2013 deserving a fair of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this market, only pork products are sold, while local bars offer special menus, tapas routes, and tastings. Visitors can enjoy typical Mallorcan specialties such as frito mallorqu\u00edn<\/em>, sobrasada<\/em>, botifarrons<\/em>, camaiot<\/em>, and blanquets<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AUTUMN AND WINE FAIR<\/u><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To close this guide to Mallorca\u2019s gastronomic fairs in October, we highlight the Fira de Tardor i del Vi<\/strong><\/em> (Autumn and Wine Fair), held in Consell in mid-October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consell belongs to the Binissalem Designation of Origin<\/strong> wine region, an area where the Romans first introduced viticulture. Thanks to this heritage and the favorable conditions of central Mallorca, the wines of this region are known for their unique and distinctive quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This traditional agricultural and livestock fair features artisanal products, wine-tasting courses, and culinary demonstrations. Local bars and restaurants showcase traditional cuisine paired with very special wines, accompanied by children\u2019s activities, drum parades, and the famous correfocs<\/em> (fire runs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whichever fair you choose, you\u2019re guaranteed to discover plenty about Mallorcan gastronomy, its people, and its traditions. And if you need transport to get around and visit them all, ROIG Rentacar<\/strong> is the best option to make sure you don\u2019t miss a thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to seeing you on the island!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
