Since a few years ago they started the Festival cele brarse Trinity-Berber, the enthusiasm aroused among the neighbors we Torre-Pacheco has not decreased one iota.
Quite the contrary, each year this celebration is enriched with new full of surprises.
The celebrations began on Friday with the opening of the medieval market.
This was followed by a parade and after the market opened with musicians, stilt walkers and performers.
In Saturday's grand parade was held on Trinity-Berber.
The Trinity-Berber parties were born in 1996 at the initiative of José Miguel Rodríguez, a historian and researcher at the Villa de Torre Pacheco.
The events recall the dreaded Barbary raids that struck the shores of the Mar Menor and the Campo de Cartagena over the centuries XV, XVI and XVII and hindered the settlement of this area.
These attacks created the need to lift watchtowers that could serve as a shelter, one in Torre-Pacheco.
These parties, who meet 16 years, are a landmark for our town.
We knew of the existence of the Trinity in our village monks (from 1620 until the first third of the nineteenth century), when the farm wiped Confiscation largest religious order (dedicated to the redemption of captives) held in Kingdom of Murcia, whose extension was to be 356 hectares and was located in Torre Pacheco.
These monks lived in a house called "The Monk" and was attached to the old parish church, plus seven other houses had here, one of which was to be inn and purchase because Torre-Pacheco a cross roads.
We also knew of the raids, or rides, featuring the Barbary pirates, who settled in North Africa, landed on our shores of the Mar Menor, Cartagena ravaged the countryside to get captive by those who later would call a good rescue .
Thus was created a business that would last for centuries, making cities like Algiers and Tangiers, authentic capitals of commerce people.
Attacks by the Barbary hampered and delayed the doubling of these fields, making necessary the construction of towers next to the farmhouses or manor house of the few families whose incomes allowed them to lift such defensive buildings, one of these houses was Torre Pero Pacheco.
The Lordship of Hoyamorena was the only one and all (royal grant), existed throughout the Campo de Cartagena, and an inventory of 1623 we know that the hacienda had:
"A main house with its tower and church, an orchard and a zena ...., 80 tahullas vineyard, a warehouse containing 500 pounds of pots and 100 arrobas boots.
The peasants living scattered in eight houses, it is true, old and battered.
The land is devoted mainly to the cultivation of cereal .... And personal styling has six pairs of oxen and a wagon with two mules. "
Then join these two historical data and thus were created in the first Torre-Pacheco historical celebrations in the area of Cartagena.
