More than 4,500 people gathered in Port de Pollença this weekend for the second edition of Sabors de la Badia – La Mostra de la Tonyina, a growing gastronomic and cultural event celebrating local produce, maritime heritage, and sustainability.
Now firmly established on Mallorca’s events calendar, the festival focused on showcasing locally sourced tuna and highlighting the fishing traditions that have long shaped life in the Port de Pollença area.
The weekend began on Friday with talks exploring the area’s nautical history, alongside guided visits to traditional boats that helped revive memories of the port’s maritime and industrial heritage.
Saturday and Sunday marked the main event, featuring live tuna-cutting demonstrations and charity auctions, food workshops, children’s activities, live music, and a wide selection of tuna-based tapas served by local restaurants, paired with wines from nearby producers.
One of the highlights was a special culinary workshop aboard a boat from Lanchas La Gaviota, led by chefs David Rivas of Terrae and SpanishSkills 2026 gold medallist Àngela Font.
Sunday brought a final tuna auction and closing activities, with nearly €4,300 raised across the three charity auctions. Funds will support local organisations ABAIMAR, PRODIS, and AFAMA.
The Town Hall of Pollença praised the success of the event, highlighting its role in bringing together gastronomy, local traditions, sustainability, and community spirit, while already looking ahead to next year’s edition.
