We spoke with Rubén Mancilla, beekeeper and manager of Miel Simón, participating in the 25th Honey Fair in the Sierra de Guadarrama. The event runs from Friday, October 16 to Sunday, October 18 at the Casa de la Cultura, gathering several regional honey producers who will offer their products and share information about the production process behind each jar.

The fair opens at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, with the inauguration at 12:30 p.m., featuring Miel Antonio Simón. Mancilla explains that their honey is distinguished by its organic production, done manually without adulteration, resulting in lower yields compared to industrial honey but higher quality, contrasting with current market trends. He notes that consumers increasingly value artisanal and natural products.
