It almost had to be canceled due to rain, but the festive spirit and determination of the Último Tercio (Last Third) club of Alfara del Patriarca prevailed over the bad weather. This fourth installment of the series ‘Beyond the Festivities’ takes us into a day marked by uncertainty and a collective effort to keep alive one of the most deeply rooted traditions: the running of the bulls in the streets.
With the help of the Town Hall, the Federation of Running of the Bulls Clubs, and the involvement of the younger members of the community, the club managed to pull off its event, protecting the area with tarpaulins and ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Amidst the bulls and a great deal of passion, it was demonstrated that the enthusiasm and unity of the town's young people continue to be the driving force behind the local festivals.
With the collaboration of the Federation of Bullfighting Clubs of the Valencian Community.
