The fourth edition of the fair
The fair reaches its fourth fully consolidated edition. This event, which will take place in the Tanada car park, will begin on Friday 3rd with the visit of schoolchildren to the site. This fair is valued for its impact on attracting visitors to the parish, especially family and tourist audiences. The Minister of Tourism and Revitalization, Jordi Serracanta, has highlighted the importance of this event for the tourism promotion of the area (https://www.softcatala.org/resum-de-textos-en-catala/).
Activities for the whole family
In addition to the animal exhibition, the fair will also offer a demonstration of traditional crafts such as pottery, stained glass, blacksmithing, spinning and carpentry. There will also be a market of producers and artisans, as well as cultural activities organized by the French embassy and the delegation of the Generalitat. This wide range of activities makes the fair attractive for the whole family (https://www.softcatala.org/resum-de-textos-en-catala/).
Auction of brown cows
One of the novelties of this edition will be an auction of two brown cows. This auction is aimed at catering professionals and butchers, and bids will be by show of hands with a minimum starting price. This initiative, promoted by the Parish Cattlemen’s Table, aims to highlight the quality of meat from Andorra and Ordino. The cows come from two farms that have already obtained the seal of the Biosphere Reserve (https://www.softcatala.org/resum-de-textos-en-catala/).
A solidarity action
The Consul and Minister of Agriculture, Eduard Betriu, has highlighted the solidarity nature of this action. 10% of the proceeds from the auction will go to the Fundació Nostra Senyora de Meritxell to allow schoolchildren to visit the fair and participate in this experience. Betriu has stressed the importance of familiarizing schoolchildren with the pastoral tradition and has encouraged all schools in the country to participate in this activity.
Conclusion
The established and attractive fair for visitors is an event that offers a wide variety of activities for the whole family. With its fourth edition, this fair has managed to consolidate itself as a tourist attraction for the parish. The auction of brown cows and the solidarity action associated with this initiative are examples of the unique activities that can be found at this event.
