The Mazarron hamlet of La Atalaya has a new weekend of
celebrations in honour of the Corpus. The suspension of the events planned for
Saturday May 28, due to inclement weather, led to the organization to be
postponed to this Saturday June 4.
The Department of Celebration confirms that
from 10pm dance groups from Juan Antonio Iglesias and de Rosa Aznar will perform. Later
there will be a foam party with mobile disco
La Atalaya began their celebrations on 27th May
