Regional Festivals

Take a look at our list below to see if your holiday coincides with one of the area’s popular regional festivals…

Cartagena Carnival

Over 10 days of carnival craziness… The Cartagena Carnival has the prestigious accolade of having been named an event of “Regional Tourist Interest” so clearly it shouldn’t be missed! It is highlighted by various parades (including one especially for children), plenty of music and loads of parties.

Semana Santa

Holy Week in Spain is taken extremely seriously, with all manner of Easter celebrations and festivals across the country. “Penance processions” by many different religious brotherhoods in each area characterise Semana Santa celebrations. Members of the brotherhoods wear penitential robes (including a tunic and conical-shaped hood) and carry processional candles and tremendous floats with religious sculptures, which each group shoulders from the church of origin, around the designated procession route and back.

Particularly notable Semana Santa celebrations in the Murcia region are held in Cartagena, Mula, Jumilla and Lorca.

Festival de Cante Flamenco

Since 1980, this flamenco festival in Lo Ferro (just outside Roldán to the east of Corvera) has grown to become a significant event in the area. The festival comprises a flamenco competition and, in the month prior to the event, singers take part in a competition to be whittled down to a handful who will compete for the “Golden Melon”, a coveted prize in the world of flamenco music.

Moros y Cristianos

Moors and Christians celebrations have been held in Murcia since 1983. Steeped in religious history, the event features stage performers using the streets as their platform to commemorate the Reconquista (Reconquest) of Spain.
