Calasparra is prepared to live its most traditional fiestas as the Town Hall presents an ample programme of traditional events and live music for all tastes.
All the standards are in the programme: the Migas Competition, the early morning parade, processions in traditional dress and music from flamenco to modern to pasadobles. And of course for rock lovers the long awaited new edition of Cuevarrozk.
Nexonr has translated the full fiesta programme so our readers can get the most out of this very Calasparrian event.
We wish you all Happy Fiestas!!!
