Fiesta de Los Mayos
Los Mayos is a unique celebration of the municipality of Alhama de Murcia that is celebrated the first weekend of May.
Its origin is lost in time and there are no written references known until the decade of the 20s of the last century.
After the Civil War and for more than 40 years disappeared for its critical aspect.
It was in 1982 when the Plenary of the City Council of Alhama de Murcia agreed to recover the party.
In 1990 it is declared of Regional Tourist Interest and in 2018 of National Tourist Interest.
It consists of the placement, in streets and squares, of puppets or puppets dressed in old clothes from the house and the face painted with human features.
The basic subjects that are treated are usually three: the recreation of old trades that have already disappeared and that were typical of Alhama;
the representation of scenes of daily life, usually treated in a humorous way and, lastly and the most celebrated, the satirical scenes that with critical acuity reveal problems or specific current issues.
Those Mayos that represent traditional or traditional scenes recover and show clothes, belongings and accessories already in disuse, such as zaragüelles, tools, trills and tools, turning the streets of Alhama into a real ethnographic museum.
A Mayo is not a single puppet, but must compose a scene and, as in its origin, must carry a card that collects the message you want to convey to understand the scene or simply recognize the character.
Especially in the Mayos that represent traditional scenes, the posters recover words, idioms and expressions typical of Alhama de Murcia and the Region, usually in verse.
The Mayos contest awards prizes to the three best and distinctions in the categories of critical, original and traditional.
On the plantation, private neighbors, clubs and neighborhood associations collaborate, which traditionally came riding the scene in the early hours of Saturday to Sunday to disappear that same day in the afternoon.
Since 2016, the Mayos exhibition starts on Saturday around noon and ends on Sunday afternoon.
These past 30 years have joined the party other complementary activities, such as the Folk Festival, which now reaches its XXIX edition and will have groups such as 'Luar na Lubre' or 'Malvariche'.
In addition to train or bicycle tours, May crosses, craft market, sports activities and exhibitions to complete the poster of events from May 3 to 5, 2019, which is expected the participation of more than 12,000 people between residents of Alhama and visitors.
