Los Puertas: Feria, Cultural Heritage and Routes

Culture and Festive Tradition

In June, the traditional Feria de Los Puertas is celebrated in Los Puertas. The Feria de Los Puertas took place from Friday, June 21, to Sunday, June 23. If you enter the festival dates in your calendar, this period can be clearly assigned to the three weekdays mentioned in June. The Sunday program included a procession at 12:00 noon. It was held in honor of the patron saint San Juan.

The festival details thus combine the reference to the month of June with a clearly defined period and a fixed program item on Sunday. For this day, in addition to the conclusion of the aforementioned Feria, the procession at 12:00 noon is associated with its religious purpose. The patron saint San Juan is therefore directly associated with this program item of the festival.

Cultural Heritage

The Noria-Alberca 1 de Los Puertas is protected under protection level 2. It is a contemporary ethnological cultural asset. The protection and preservation measures במסגרת protection level 2 serve to preserve the historical memory of the area. For the cultural classification of the site, both the protection level and the ethnological classification therefore remain directly associated with the name of this cultural asset.

The Noria-Alberca 1 de Los Puertas thus carries both a protection designation and a type designation: protection level 2 describes the municipal protection, while its classification as a contemporary ethnological cultural asset supplements the protection designation. The preservation purpose relates to the historical memory of the area and connects the classification of the object with its preservation mandate.

Further direct references lead to Coín, Valdés, Arenas, Sierra De Yeguas, Marbella, Yunquera, Colmenar and Torre de Benagalbón.
