The “Chupinazo” (rocket) which is launched from the balcony of the Town Hall, and which marks the official start of the September fiestas, drew crowds to the Plaza de la Corredera..
In the afternoon the festive atmosphere continued with inflatable bulls, dancing from the Espìga de Oro dance group, and music from the carnival novelty band from twinned German town, Dorzdorf.
SCARE AT THE PEQUEÑO ENCIERRO
A young man was hurt at the “pequeña encierros” with heifers and was transferred to Caravaca Hospital with his injuries due to a fall.
The bull run took some three minutes and 21 seconds from the corral to the bull ring and is designed as a practice run for minors.
