Palma to hold major beer festival

A major beer festival will take place from April 26th until May 5th in Palma just by the Palma cathedral. A total of 70 different beers from across the globe will be served in special beer tents. Beer Palma, the Beer Party, opens in the old city walls below the Cathedral. Not only will there be beer but a series  of restaurants will also have stands so that you will be assured of some good food to accompany your drink. Running alongside the actual festival there will be a series  of exhibitions looking into the history of beer and how it is produced. There will be a specially dedicated area of Ses Voltes, below the Cathedral, where the exhibition will be held.
This is part of a campaign by the local authorities and local business community to boost tourism during low periods. Organisers hope that both residents and tourist alike will join the fun and make, Beer Palma, the Beer Party a hugh success.
The event opens at 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. – followed by 6 p.m. to midnight.
