For the mayor of Antigua, Matías Peña, "the municipality of Antigua is in luck for the recovery of the face-to-face EAGF".

Therefore, the entire primary sector has to be in Pozo Negro."

 

For the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, David de Vera, "FEAGA returns with full force, in a traditional way and with all the activities already consolidated. From the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, as well as the rest of the areas involved in a transversal way, we have made every effort to recover the fair with all the spirit and interest on the part of the primary sector that entails it".

 

"It is more necessary than ever to recover the fair at this time, in order to strengthen the sector at such critical times due to the health, energy and transport crisis that affects this activity. Therefore, we have to guarantee that the fair is not the same as the previous ones, but even better, "concluded the island councilor.

 

De Vera also thanked all the municipalities for their presence in the FEAGA, as well as CajaSiete and Cajamar for their support always shown towards the primary sector.

I went to FEAGA today and although I enjoyed the visit I came away a little disappointed.

Two of todays Events that took place while we were there, or were meant to, eluded our efforts to find.

There were very few stalls compared to previous years or perhaps just a few less but so spaced out large areas seemed empty. Some spaces were marked with names presumably for the weekend but disappointed they were not occupied today. Far less stalls with 'tasters' and none that had giveaways that I found.

Conspicuous by their absence were Fran & Chemi and Oasis Garden Centre, normally 2 of the bigger displays. Oasis Zoo was there in the animal section with 5 mother camels and their babies, aged between 2 and 6 months, very sweet.

No problems with traffic or parking.

I'll post some pics later when they have uploaded from my phone.

 This lovely lady from Oasis answered all my questions, seemed happy to chat (in Spanish) and best of all she was brushing the camels with a little dog brush

It was good to see the vet, and the student vets from GC, supervising all the unloading and moving of the animals, and having a great deal of fun at the same time!
