The blend of gastronomy and art is appealing, but it feels like the main draw remains shopping. A stronger emphasis on authentic local heritage would be a nice balance.

This festival clearly boosts tourism and provides unique shopping opportunities. However, I hope local small businesses aren't forgotten amidst the larger brands and exclusive deals.

The environmental impact of all those visitors is completely ignored.
