Fair of la Miel de Boal

Activity · Boal, Eo-Navia, Asturias

Beekeeping has become the most characteristic secondary activity of the concejo of Boal, which holds the Feria de la Miel (Honey Fair) every year in its town, generally on the last weekend of October or the first of November; its first edition was in 1986. Born as an exhibition and sale of bee products with talks on the sector, it has gradually added stalls of craft and food products, a poster competition, bee-themed models for schoolchildren and a competition for dishes made with honey, as well as a skittles tournament, a display of traditional Asturian sports and musical performances. It is held at the municipal sports centre, on the edge of the village. With just over one thousand three hundred inhabitants, Boal received the Asturias Exemplary Village Award in 2014.
