The opening will take place on Friday, November 6, at 5:00 PM, attended by the Minister of Agriculture, Narvay Quintero, and Tourism Councilor Magaly González. This will be followed by a demonstration of Silbo Herreño and a showcooking session on "Goat Meat. Our Gastronomic Treasure" by Brian Rodríguez, who will also demonstrate Herreña hamburgers. The day will conclude with music by DJ Monterreina.
On Saturday, the fair opens at 12:00 PM with workshops on Herreña cheesecakes and pastries by Pastelería Zulay, and a tasting of Canarian wines paired with Herreña skewers, organized by the Designation of Origin of El Hierro.
