    This feast is celebrated in La Copa de Bullas on the closest weekend to the 17th of January, Saint Anthony the Great, popularly known as San Ant\u00f3n. On Saturday night there is a sampling of pork products beside a great bonfire and on Sunday morning is the time for the typical \u201cAuction\u201d of traditional products in the Plaza de la Paz. In the afternoon everyone meets around the \u201cInnocent\u201d, a peculiar car\u00e1cter responsible of organising and hosting the \u201cbid dance\u201d, a real relic of the regional folklore. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    CARNiVAL<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div>

    Carnival has traditionally been a great event in Bullas as plenty of people disguised as \u201cm\u00e1scaras\u201d and popular troupes. Nowadays the celebration has been renewed by joining costume parties and the parade with the participation of the general public and that for the school children. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    holy week<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div>

    The Holy Week is one of the most participative celebrations of Bullas. There are five brotherhoods identified with a colour which in order of age are Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Dolores (The Blacks), San Juan Evangelista (The Whites), Nuestro Padre Jes\u00fas Nazareno (The Purples), Precios\u00edsima Sangre de Nuestro Se\u00f1or Jesucristo (The Reds) and Santiago Ap\u00f3stol (The Greens). All of them participate in the four processions that are Prendimiento (Maundy Thursday in the evening), Nuestro Padre Jes\u00fas Nazareno (Good Friday in the morning), Santo Entierro (Good Friday in the evening) and Resucitado (Easter Sunday in the morning). The traditional \u201cEncuentro\u201d of the Plaza Vieja takes place in the context of this last procession, creating the most colorist and emotional momento of the Holy Week of Bullas. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Feast of SAN MARCOS<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div>

    This mass event is celebrated on the last April\u2019s weekend and has its origin in the Rogation days to pray for the rain which took place every 25th of April, Saint Mark\u2019s Day. From a simple procession and a celebration of the local farmers the festival has evolved in the last decades to a very participative event that still praises the agricultural tradition of Bullas with a parade with dozens of floats decorated in the traditional way as its members wear the regional clothing. The original procession with the images of Saint Isidro Labrador and her wife Saint Mary de la Cabeza, Saint John and the patroness Our Lady of the Rosary precede the parade and go to the Murta area for the also traditional Blessing of the Fields. The area of La Rafa later becomes the centre of the feast with the typical rural lunch and other playful activities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Saint john\u2019s night<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div>

    The most magical night of the year, from the 23rd to the 24th of June, has a special meaning in Bullas. Plenty of ancient rituals are developed, like the making of the \u201csweet nuts wine\u201d, to be sampled the following Christmas, just six months later. At midnight the recreation of an old leyend takes place, the \u201cMora del Castellar\u201d, the Arab princess who faithful to the tradition goes down to the Salto del Usero, what is seen by hundreds of people.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    On the eve of the 8th of December the group of \u201cauroros\u201d of La Copa go over the streets of the village with their ancient songs, preserving a really old tradition.
