Shoe fair in Lloseta
The vernissage of the exhibition by Catalina Salas at Sa Mina, last Friday in Lloseta, initiated the programme of activities of the "III Fira de sa Sabata", organised by the Lloseta Town Council with the support from the Balearic Government, the Mallorcan Counil and Sa Nostra.
On Friday, May 31, at 8 p.m., two other exhibitions will open in Sa Nostra: the "Trobada de Pintors" and the "III Premi de fotografia Vila de Lloseta". At 9 p.m., at Sa Mina, there will be a poetry show with music, followed by the presentation of the book "Art de trobar veritat" by Pere Joan Martorell.
On Saturday, June 1, at 11 a.m., there will be the solemn Mass dedicated to the shoe makers from Lloseta, followed by a performance by a group of bagpipes and a popular activity where pigeons will be set free. The "III Fira de sa Sabata" will begin at noon, where visitors will be able to compare the craft and tools of a handmade shoe with that of the machine made shoe from a factory. The day will end with an open air dance and music by the Duo Piscis and the Trio Champagne.
On Sunday the Shoe Fair will continue, and there will also be children's castles, and a concert, at noon, by the Unió Musical Inquera.
Lloseta, like the rest of villages from the Es Raiguer region, has a long tradition in the shoe manufacture industry. On the Internet we find the following shoe makers from Lloseta: Bestard, Comes, Coll and Alcover.
