As the Community recalled, it is the second call of these characteristics launched by the Ministry of the Presidency, Tourism, Culture and Sports, so that “the associations can continue to develop their activities.” It is “a pioneering initiative in the Region promoted during this legislature,” explained the general director of Local Administration, Francisco Abril.

These aids are “a sign of the regional government’s commitment to bullfighting,” said Abril, in this case, “with the region’s bullfighting associations and clubs that with their work and dedication keep the bullfighting fans and culture alive and magnify.” .

The ‘Fiesta de los Toros en la Región de Murcia’ was declared an asset of intangible cultural interest, since the uses, representations, knowledge and techniques that in said festival “are revealed, transmitted from generation to generation and interact with nature and history, conceiving a feeling of identity and continuity that contribute to promoting respect for cultural diversity and human creativity”, explained the General Director of Local Administration.
