The Pedanía of Tébar in Águilas celebrates its traditional activities in honour of San Antón over the weekend of 18th and 19th January 2020
Along with several other districts dotted around the Murcia Region, Tébar in the Águilas municipality celebrates its local fiestas in honour of San Antón, the patron saint of animals. These include a number of community activities and a ceremony to bless the animals in the municipality, to which locals bring along their pets ( and sometimes livestock!) to be blessed.
Programme of activities for 2020:
Saturday 18th January

14.00 Solemn procession with the image of San Antón Abad. As normal, the right to carry the throne will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. At the end, the Cantos de Pascuas will be sung by the Cuadrillas.
Following this, there´s a baile de pujas, an open air dance with music by the Cuadrillas of Marina de Cope and Cuesta de Gos, in which onlookers will pay a donation to church funds to designate other people who have to join in with the dancing.It’s a totally traditional Murcian custom. Great fun to watch and an extremely traditional way to spend a fiesta afternoon.
All welcome to come along and join in.
