The grand parade of foreign groups at the Cartagena Carnival.

On Sunday morning, in the heart of Cartagena's historic center, the streets are filled with color, music and creativity with one of the most anticipated moments of the Cartagena Carnival: the parade of foreign groups that arrive from different corners of the Region of Murcia and the nearby province of Alicante to join the biggest party of the year.

From the early hours, the public begins to gather along Puertas de Murcia, Calle Mayor and the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, cheering on the passage of troupes and choreographic groups with their rhythms, drums and elaborate costumes with thousands of details.

The visiting groups bring their own styles, traditions, and visual flair. The carnival troupes stand out for their spectacular costumes, feathers, sequins, and choreographies rehearsed for months, all vying for a spot among the most applauded in the parade.

The visiting groups, in this morning parade, transform Cartagena into a melting pot of creativity and celebration, with music, dance, and costumes that reflect the area's cultural diversity. It's a moment when the streets fill with applause, confetti, and smiles, solidifying the carnival as a festival of enormous participation and cultural significance in the Region of Murcia.
