August 14 to 24 Semana de la Huerta y el Mar in Los Alcazares 2024
Ten days of festivities, parades, music, food and drink as Los Alcázares celebrates the traditional August influx of visitors from inland Murcia
Once again the town of Los Alcázares will be transformed for 10 days this August into the hub of a unique celebration of summer: the Semana Internacional de la Huerta y el Mar, which takes place from 14th to 24th August.
During the 52nd edition of these fiestas, the picturesque streets of the town centre will be at the heart of an event which is guaranteed to delight both residents and visitors in a festival of culture, music and tasty food!
The festivity of the Semana Internacional de la Huerta y el Mar is a tribute to the roots of the Region of Murcia, combining the best of its folk traditions and rich gastronomic heritage, and for ten days those attending will be treated to a varied program of events including concerts, live entertainment and float parades, all taking place in the charming historic centre of Los Alcázares.
The municipality of Los Alcázares proudly invites you to come along and take in the atmosphere at the concerts, folk dancing, parades and outdoor eateries in this unique environment: a culturally and gastronomically rich environment which constitutes and unforgettable experience!
Apart from the programmed events there is plenty of atmosphere in and around the artisan market, in the “barracas”, where traditional lunch and dinners are served at very affordable prices to customers seated outside, and throughout the town as Los Alcázares recalls the days when the agricultural workers of the Murcia countryside used to decamp to the coast for a couple of weeks before returning home for the autumn.
These “barracas” open every evening at 20.30.
The full programme has not yet been confirmed – it will be posted here as soon as it is available – but one of the highlights is on Tuesday August 17 when the traditional Bando de la Huerta takes place. This is a smaller-scale replica of the massive event on the Tuesday after Easter in the city of Murcia, which is a local holiday and sees hundreds of thousands of people take to the streets in a celebration of their agricultural heritage and the start of spring. On this occasion the main procession runs from close to the beach in Los Narejos to the Town Hall of Los Alcázares and is followed by an open-air concert.
This is just one of the numerous events being laid on by the Town Hall of Los Alcázares during the summer of 2024: visit the Los Alcázares section of Murcia Today for further information!
