Last Tuesday an expedition of festeros went out to FITUR, composed of members of the Board of Directors of the Federation of Troops and Legions, Roman Senate and Carthaginian Council, also sharing a bus with the components of the Carnival of Cartagena, with its president Carmen Sánchez and components of your directive.
The following day they made an appearance at the fair, at the Murcia Region stand, collaborating with a harangue between the festive characters Hannibal and Scipio and a fight between gladiators that delighted the audience gathered there.
That was the debut of our characters recently chosen by the festeros, both for the Roman part as for the Carthaginian, which made it clear their intention to be equal to their predecessors.
At all times they were surrounded by all the festeros there assembled and logically by the presidents of Federation, Senate and Council.
There we also met with the Brother of the Brotherhood Marraja of our Holy Week, Francisco Pagán Martín-Portugués, who was also invited by the Department of Tourism of the Region of Murcia.
The media of Cartagena did not miss the appointment, as is the case of María Carmen Barcelona of Onda Cero Cartagena, with which they shared moments on Tuesday morning.
Both that day and later, the festeros have been present at the stand of the Region of Murcia, accompanying the regional authorities and Cartagena, until the same Thursday when they returned to Cartagena.
There were visits to the president of the Spanish Historical Festivities, Antonio Madrid who was installed in the stand of Calatayud, to the Festivities of Arde Lucus (Lugo), Ãbero-Roman Fiestas of Cástulo (Linares), who want to have our presence in their parties.
