👩🌾 Murcia Bando de la Huerta Fiesta
📆 Tues 2nd April 2025
💵 13 euros
The Bando de la Huerta is one of the biggest celebrations in the city of Murcia in spring.
It is the celebration of the city par excellence, in which the city buzzes and takes to the streets all its cultural roots and festive idiosyncrasies. It comes on the first Tuesday after Easter and opens the spring festival cycle. It is a day of exaltation of the Orchard traditions, closely linked to the history of the city itself.
This day, the city becomes a unique Orchard in which tens of thousands of people of all ages take to the streets in regional dress. Men wear the “zaraguelles”, vests and “monteras” (orchard hat), and women, with the beautiful skirts, aprons and shawls. What most characterizes and differentiates the orchard dress is the richness of its embroidery and its large number of ornaments.
The day begins with a floral offering to the Virgin of Fuensanta, patron saint of the city, in front of the baroque facade of the Cathedral. In the afternoon, the parade departs from the infante D. Juan Manuel neighborhood and goes through the city center, giving everyone the typical products that fill the floats.
The origin of this festival dates back to 1851, although it has been celebrated on about 120 occasions. In its beginnings, it may have been linked to the city's carnival celebrations.
We take you to Murcia city so you can enjoy the parades and the general, fun atmosphere of the day !!
