Spring Fiestas in Murcia |
|
|
|
This is a unique and original fiesta which takes place on the Saturday after Easter Sunday. Together with the Bando de la Huerta, it is the
big Murcian fiesta.
The festival is organised by the "Grupos Sardineros", who stir the city into
excitement with their parades in the days leading up to the event. This is
particularly true of Saturday morning in the boulevard Alfonso X el Sabio, where
a widely attended and informal parade takes place.
Fireworks, music, brass bands, dancers, floats, toys, carnival groups,
"hachoneros" (people who guard the floats), a concert of whistles… All of these
come together in a night of madness and magic, when everybody without exception,
fights for a toy.
