Know how these words audibly, and are to honor these people, that knowing so high appointment, only through my mind, apart from the appreciation, a pride so sublime, a gift from heaven, that breaks this humble voice to remember that time.
Neither thrones nor principalities, nor powers divine, or how the sky nests, nor between the hidden and of course can match this request to proclaim our parties.
So, without further delay, the Mayor and Council have to either order, and send to the four winds, extending the news that the celebrations begin
The drums resound
And sigh bagpipes
Muskets that thundered
And respond espindargas
Flood the smell of gunpowder
vega as Moors and Christians
arrears of ditches and gardens

Posturing and festive fair

Five decades of success
Time passes quickly.
And when you have the privilege of living in this beautiful place, time flies like a swirl of colors and sensations, a whirlwind studded experiences and magical moments.
It seems like yesterday.
It seems like yesterday, but it's been 25 years since a group of enthusiasts and Murcia in our history decided to promote a new and exciting project as soon received the applause of all citizens.
We watched with joy from this privileged vantage point the world that is Murcia the first 25 years of history of our Moros y Cristianos.
It was a time of change, of profound transformation of the city and the festival itself, which has seen the camp to become increasingly crowded and flowers, which has enjoyed the addition to the acts of Entry and Delivery Keys, in the Apostles also remodeled spaces first, and then Belluga.
From City Hall to preside over have always been aware that the support and encouragement to those who make possible the party is an absolute priority, which has enabled the delivery of a host to the Federation of Moros y Cristianos.
Therefore, now celebrating the 25 th Anniversary celebration of Moors and Christians we can look back and taste it was worth it to get here.
In these things I thought a couple of months ago at the opening, I had the honor of presiding, sculpture of the founder of Murcia, Abderrahman II, by Jose Carrilero.
Rahman.
Proud but calm, carried stern but passionate, who had the good fortune to build this city, it seems that amounted to acts anniversary these days are celebrated.
And there, protected by the river behind him, it seemed that flowed from the cold bronze also a strong voice that we ordered:
Garnish the city
Flowers and lights
Open the doors remote!
Graces the wall
The bows of mint,
Palm, orange, alábega
Sprigs of jasmine flowers
Hang on the windows
Lutes resound everywhere
Tambourines, flutes, guitars
And the silk tapestries
Was grown in Murcia
Narrate the success story
Recalling your input
Order that the gates be lifted without delay
Arenal, overflowing tents and precious fabrics,
pale with pride that land as Christian and Moorish
with princesses and queens, ladies and champions!
My goal is to become a humble tonight herald, as those who traveled cobbled streets and public places to announce municipal ordinances and agreements, including our remote was fair, and in the thirteenth century.
And if at that time went to the city minstrels, jugglers, merchants and minstrels, who made a huge racket, today we are privileged to continue to celebrate these days with so much passion and joy as ever.
Perhaps only one thing I unlike those singers, they performed their craft for a living and I, however, I had the privilege to enjoy this festival of Moors and Christians from within, parading through the stunning Gran Vía that I can announce that I know the passion that overwhelms you when they approach these blessed days, I witnessed the enthusiasm and commitment of so many young, I saw flashing eyes of children to wear hooded robes, kaftans, simbads, slippers , dazzled at the sight of beautiful tradition that their parents are bequeathing.
La fiesta de Moros y Cristianos is a family party.
It may seem a trivial statement, but these days we live we hurried claim more than ever the importance of the family in our lives.
So I would once again show my appreciation to the more than 1,500 revelers, parents, children and grandparents, filled with happiness, gunpowder, history and brotherhood our beloved city of Murcia, a thousand times praised and longed:
Oh Todmir Cora,
Mursiya of alaracas Ay,
Land of pure water
Emerging from thy bowels
Who knew where to hide
The flow treasured
To alleviate drought
That grips our garden
As there is no largest Foundation
Memorandum or larger
The delivery of keys
In the hands of the Embassy
Murcia surrender to the Kabyle!
Murcia is of retinues!
Festive, from within
After so many years with you I learned to get excited about the Parade entry, to feel proud when contemplating the establishment of Mursiya and understand the immense cultural heritage that we have and how good it is with the entrance of the Infante Alfonso de Castilla y the subsequent delivery of keys to the city.
All Murcia, to be, has to look at sometime in their life, as if it were a makeshift Mecca, the entry that gives us the feeling of a whole kingdom in our Gran Vía condensate, that great line under which the asphalt still retiembla remote medieval map of the city and becomes a festive and historic theater, gallant and spectacular, full of tradition from that distant year of 1488 when, to honor the arrival of the Catholic Kings to Murcia, fair organized Moros y Cristianos joy that filled the minds of our ancestors, remembering the legacy of King and Wise, who immortalized his love for this kingdom, and his devotion to the Arrixaca, in his splendid cantigas.
Ten years ago that my voice rose to herald the holidays.
And it is fair to say that today take the opportunity to subscribe as this beautiful night I had the honor to announce.
Further.
Because the passage of time has convinced me that when the sky Murcia is surprised by the lilting notes of blackberries and warlike marches marches Christian, when the retinues and Kabila take shape in the festive Murcia, where the Infante Alfonso de Castilla y King Aben Hud of Mursiya are reincarnated every year by the miracle of the Fiesta, that dream of making the impossible possible, have spent many days of sacrifice, work, nerves, giving, generous service that we demand the best we have as spectators: the applause. "
That at the top of the towers lighting sag
And the battlements adorned with lanterns gleaned
Mursiya hosting this event, so remote and so gallant
What people around the world come to stare
And that will come.
Because it is my wish and I chair the Consistory of momentum all initiatives serve to spread knowledge of this life and their festive celebrations.
First, with the award of the Silver Medal of the City, the most important distinction Murcia can give their children and condensing and perpetual public recognition.
And second, with the close collaboration we have with the Federation to achieve recognition for the holidays are declared of National Tourist Interest.
And while we await the conclusion excited about these developments, today we begin to celebrate this new edition, this latest installment of the festival that unites us and distinguishes.

Always name those recurrent life in slow but accurate cycle robs us of.
But this time, honoring them with my words is a genuine recognition that comes from my heart without effort.
Because I have still present, and I have while I live, the moments spent together, the experience and wisdom to me generously offered the help they gave me.
