Alhama de Murcia May Festival

Fiesta de Los Mayos de Alhama de Murcia

Murcia, Spain

Apr 24 - May 31, 2026ExpectedSource

Through late spring, the Murcian town of Alhama fills its nights with song for the festival of Los Mayos, sung in honor of the Virgin Mary. Groups called Corremayos parade past crosses dressed with flowers, in a centuries-old tradition of devotion set to music, revived here since 1982.

Media proof note

The Alhama de Murcia May Festival record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.
