Yesterday we said bye to one of the best cultural festivals that are celebrated in Spain and takes place in the Puerto de La Cruz, Tenerife: MUECA
MUECA was born as a festival designed to enjoy shows inside a theatre . But destiny wanted that the ceiling of the theatre suffered such great damages and therefore forcing the Organization to move Festival MUECA to the street, getting so it became a reason for joining and enjoyed hugh local , quite unexpected and extremely positive.
MUECA, became the Portuenses festival, an event that made them feel proud of, that they feel as their own, as a sign of identity and a very important part of their lives.
Year after year the quality of MUECA mantained an upward trajectory and its acceptance crossed international borders, becoming an artistic, cultural and, of course, touristial attractive.
As we know, a festival like MUECA costs quite a lot so due to budgetary reasons was not held for two consecutive years causing a great sadness for residents and interested in culture,that’s why a platform saw the light and managed to get MUECA back invading the streets of Puerto de la Cruz in 2012. A platform of busineses and social cooperation organized events and provided the necessary budget to celebrate the Festival again.
The result is described in a word: success.
MUECA 2013 has surpassed the previous edition. A Street Festival, a Festival for the whole family, with themed streets:
- magic,
- music,
