XI meeting of the sardine with the youth - Murcia

Perfect weather attracted young and old again this year to the XI Encuentro de Sardinillas con los jóvenes, the XI meeting of sardine with the youth, on the grounds of the former artillery barracks in Murcia.

The courtyard of the former artillery school is the perfect setting for the event. The former artillery barracks was built from 1921 to 1926.

In the 80s, the site was handed over to the city of Murcia, which converted it into a multipurpose complex.

In addition to the Artillery Barracks Cultural Center, it houses the Municipal Library, the Museum and Aquarium of the University of Murcia, the Centers of Contemporary Art, and the Conservatory of Music.

This charity event takes place annually as part of the Entierro de la Sardina, the Burial of the Sardine.

The Sardineros want to bring joy to the children in care of the region and show them that they especially think about them.

For the children, there are inflatable castles, and of course, they also get presents.

But the highlight is la Sardina, the sardine, which is very cordially welcomed by the children. They are proud to take part in the parade lead by the sardine.
