Inca’s land fair, science and wine
After the Holy Roman Emperor Carlos V decided that Llucmajor should be able to hold its first fairs in 1546, much to the disgust of Inca (and Sineu), who had objected, the timing of the fairs revolved around the feasts of Sant Miquel, the Archangel Michael, on September 29, and Sant Lluc (Saint Luke) on October 18.

Inca's land fair and giant insects
After the Holy Roman Emperor Carlos V decided that Llucmajor should be able to hold its first fairs in 1546, much to the disgust of Inca (and Sineu), who had objected, the timing of the fairs revolved around the feasts of Sant Miquel, the Archangel Michael, on September 29, and Sant Lluc (Saint Luke) on October 18. Llucmajor's fairs had to finish before Luke, and Inca's couldn't start until Luke.
