Tonight marked the last night of Condado De Alhama’s two weekend Fiesta and what an amazing 6 days we’ve had. Friends, families, neighbours and guests all joined together on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for a full days worth of entertainment. From treasure hunts to golf tournaments and aqua aerobics to camel rides, we’ve all been given the chance by Milenium Levante to join in anything that pleased us.
To sum it all up in one report there’s no better way then capturing the event in photos. The past weekend has been filled with smiles, little ones and big ones, as the crowds once again piled in for another Condado style party.
The market in the moonlight...
Sunday was undoubtably the most unmissable day in the schedule with our brilliant Medieval Market once again opening for the afternoon and evening, serving food, drinks, jewellery, homewares and jewellery as well as displays such as blacksmithing, donkey and horse rides, rabbits, micro pigs and geese. Photo opportunities were available with a very large owl just metres away from guests enjoying an atmospheric meal at our very own restaurant, which has not seen any dip in popularity since it reopened for the summer.
The golf tournament was first starting at 8, attempting to avoid the 40 degree heat. Next were the newly built French boules courts next to the football pitches, where a tournament was hosted till early afternoon. And nearby, after 2 days of practise and build up over 135 football players gathered for the long awaited football tournament. It consisted of 25 under 9’s, 75 between 10 and 14 years and 35 adults.
Our very own homemade performers.
The party, however, only really started at 8 when the crowds all drew in to a packed in Al KAsar for the childrens dancing. Lots of littles ones have been practising religiously everyday at 6pm a set of 5 dances as well as making costumes and we were lucky enough to see this performed in front of hundreds at the big stage, Arabian style! Each performer received a goody bag filled with Spongebob treats.

Next was the sports awards ceremonies, beginning with football where each participant received one football each as well as a certificate and the champions of each age group were awarded their trophies. With claps and cheers in the background the celebration continued with the awards for the treasure hunt, boules and golf, great work by all.
The winners of the Adult tournament
But it wasn’t over yet – infact in true Spanish style it had only just begun and the band Back Water took over the stages lights for a couple of hours of classics. Everyone knew the words and it became a great opportunity to meet new people and simply celebrate the fact that we are all owners on the best resort around. And what better than to show off our true community-party spirit than to give the South Murcian area the best fireworks diplay they’ve seen. A special treat to the thousands gathered in Al Kasar as well as those celebrating in their own gardens it truly was a spectacular sight. Both Nica from Millenium as well as the closing band, Sharabia, ended the evening perfectly with shouting VIVA CONDADO DE ALHAMA, VIVA! As I am writing this now there’s still more down there all rocking to the hard rockers, Sharabia but we thought we’d share it as soon as possible with our great neighbours who haven’t joined us this week. Your resort is 5 stars, it will continue to grow, in size as well as in spirit and who knows what new things we could be celebrating by next fiesta. This event is seriously not to be missed. SO, as soon as we know next years dates they will be on here… condadodealhamaservices.com …and your flights should be booked seconds after. Keep checking!
Fireworks for all!
Thank you to everyone, owners, organisors, parents, participants, children, market vendors, and performers, but the biggest thank you goes to Millenium Levante, for selflessly organising this fiesta simply to raise awareness and positivity for our resort. They are located in Al Kasar, if your popping in – they are friendly, and love a smile… even if you just shout thanks I know they will appreciate it. It’s only gonna get better.
