Almería, (EFE).- Every year there are many people from Almería who come to the most important monumental complex in their city to attend a ‘Sunrise in the Alcazaba’, a cultural and recreational activity that this Sunday is dedicated to the figure of ‘ Lorca child in Almería’.
At five in the morning the doors of this fortress were opened for this activity organized by the ‘La Traíña’ association and the Celia Viñas Popular University, with a climb enlivened by the musicians of ‘La Troupe Insurgente’, ‘La Nueve’ and the Clasijazz ‘Brass Band’ Workshop, with popular songs harmonized by Federico García Lorca.
The theater-action ‘El niño y la sombra’ from Taller Poex de Berja (Almería) has also accompanied the visitors, with ‘Lorquita’, created by Ismael Lozano.
Due to the restoration works in the Alcazaba, most of the performances have taken place on the stage of the Torre de la Vela esplanade, where the fifteen-year-old flamenco guitarist Francisco Fernández Pelaíllo has given the starting signal, who has accompanied by the bailaora María Márquez.
Magdalena Cantero, president of the Historical Center Association and Juan José Ceba have made an intervention on the keys of ‘A poet child in the historic city’.
