Murcia Celebr !!!

Murcia, Spain, is preparing for the vibrant Bando de la Huerta festival in Spring 2025. The festival, officially on April 22nd, is the most important day of the Spring Festivities. Artist Cristóbal Gabarrón's poster, 'The Awakening of Spring,' captures the essence of the celebration with its colorful depiction of flowers, symbolizing the rebirth of spring and the region's agricultural heritage. The festivities include a floral offering to the Virgin of the Fuensanta, a parade with ox-drawn carriages, folk groups, and traditional food thrown to spectators. The Bando de la Huerta is a unique opportunity to experience Murcia's traditions.
