More than a thousand children from Puerto Lumbreras paraded yesterday through the streets near their educational centers disguised as different themes to celebrate the arrival of Carnival.
In the afternoon, a costume party was held, intended for children, in the sports pavilion on San Javier Street.
The activity included a contest of costumes, musical performances, children's games and many surprises.
In addition, dancers from the Riá Pitá dance academy performed a performance inspired by Alice in Wonderland.
The winners of the costume contest were awarded with lots of school material.
Thus, there were three children who won the prize for the most original costume.
Next, a snack was offered to the attendees and all the children took a souvenir photo.
At night, the performance of the chirigota del Milla and the murga "Los Reyes de la Sabana" took place in the auditorium of the Cultural Center.
More than 100 people attended this activity, which did not lack laughter and whose entry was free.
It is worth noting that, as a novelty, this year the I Chirigotas Contest will be held, organized by the Day Center for the Elderly of Puerto Lumbreras (Recopema).
People of any age can participate forming a chirigota with a minimum of 10 disguised components.
The participation of each component will last five minutes and the lyrics, which may be accompanied by musical instruments, must be original.

This contest will be held on Thursday, February 15 at 4:00 pm at the Day Center for the Elderly.
