Relic of San Bartolomé of El Camp de Mirra

Activity · Camp de Mirra, el/Campo de Mirra, L'Alt Vinalopó, Alicante

Traditional festival of El Camp de Mirra, held on the last Sunday of May or the first of June at the hermitage of San Bartolomé. It was first celebrated on 5 May 1918; it later became part of the August patronal festivities and was later moved back to the end of May to suit the climate. In the morning people have a meal at the sanctuary, and afterwards share a communal lunch in which paellas predominate, with popular games such as the standing long jump and bar throwing, as well as races and dances. The day ends with a small procession of the image of San Bartolomé.
