The mayor of Caravaca also stressed that "the Fiesta de las Cuadrillas has a very good health, but it is necessary to remember the work that both the Aguilarderos de Barranda and the Animeros de Caravaca started years ago for the recovery of traditional music. that has caused that this heritage is today more alive than ever ".
Following the scheme of previous editions, Barranda will host about twenty activities throughout the weekend, with the Study Days on Culture of Oral Tradition, the course 'Folklore and School', the festival 'Barranda Folk' and the Market of Traditions Peasants

The Party of the Gangs
The party of the Cuadrillas is, within this type of festivals, the oldest of those that are developed in Spain.
In 2011, it received the declaration of National Tourist Interest and is also considered an Asset of Cultural Interest.
The existence of this festival, which facilitates the gathering of musicians from different places, some of whom had long since stopped performing this music, revolutionized the world of the gangs: it caused many of those that had practically disappeared and that saw that Their way of celebrating was valid in our days, they came back to meet, they dusted or bought new instruments, and they renewed that fundamental aspect of the culture that is the oral transmission, thus joining the older ones to teach the younger ones and encouraging themselves to repeat rites traditional in their villages and create new competitions of gangs in their locations.
Also the traditional music and by extension, the Party of the Gangs, suppose something atypical nowadays, and is that children, young, old and old enjoy all together of a same manifestation.
