The mayor of Jumilla, Juana Guardiola, and the president of the Association of Drums Cristo de la Sangre de Jumilla, Francisco Guardiola, reported this morning of the suspension of the Tamboradas 2021 due to the pandemic situation caused by the covid19, as well as any act of the association that involves the presence of the public. "They are decisions that are difficult to make, painful, but given the circumstances we are experiencing, it is necessary to take them," said the mayor.
"I express to the association all the support of the City Council to go hand in hand and that together we face these moments and work to recover everything as soon as possible," he added. For his part, Francisco Guardiola, has indicated that it has been a decision taken by the board of directors in a telematic meeting in contact with the mayor and the councilor for Celebrations.
He has reported that this year the book of the holidays will not be published, but the poster, "which will be presented through social networks". Nor has the children's poetry and poster contest been launched.
Las Tamboradas are suspended, "but it is planned to invite citizens to play the drum from their homes, balconies or terraces, as was done last year on the days and times that we will communicate later." It cannot be played on public roads to avoid crowds. The Cristo de la Sangre Drum Association is going to maintain this year 2021 the donation that it makes annually to a Jumilla group, which this year will be Aspaj americano, which will receive 500 euros. Likewise, it will dedicate resources to promoting the Tamboradas de Jumilla.
"In addition, it has been agreed to eliminate the annual membership fee.
We have made 600 commemorative pins for those who want to collect it.
They will go on sale, but they will be given to those who paid last year's fees," explained Francisco Guardiola.
