'A design of the creator of Illustrated History of Murcia'
The poster of the Medieval Days of this year has been made by Pedro Hurtado, author of the book 'Illustrated History of Murcia'.
This poster depicts a knight on horseback with the heraldic colors of Murcia and a kind of rampant lion inspired by the shield of Monteagudo.
The knight and the horse remember the castle and the mountain of the hamlet, topped by the Christ.
In addition, on the right side of the poster we find a beautiful maid representing the princess Zaida, to make the nod to the 'Legend of Monteagudo'.
