Bando de la Huerta
On the second tuesday after spanish holy week, in Murcia, we celebrate de Bando. We basically go out with our traditional clothes (traje de huertano/a) with friends and family and we go to a Barraca (place to eat typical murcian food) and then we see a parade about Murcia's culture and traditions, and the Reinas de la huerta (the queens, that we select every year, we have, a junior queen and a senior queen). As you can see in the images it's a really colorful day. (First image: Bando's parade full of people dressed as huertanos) (second image, the inside of a barrca with pelople eating, they are opened all the time in Murcia's festive week)(third pic my huertana's dress).
