Feast of Humanitarians

For more than a hundred years, since 1905 to be precise, every 11th November (the feast of San Martín de Tours) Morea/Moreda has been dressing up to celebrate what is considered one of the most popular and classic events of the Asturian autumn.

This festival, which has the typical rituals of mass, parade of floats, and typical Asturian folklore, is very original for several reasons: firstly, because it was born from neighbourhood associations with a social and solidarity purpose of supporting the most disadvantaged; secondly, because the typical gastronomy of the festival - mainly fabada and casadielles - also incorporates panchón, a dessert from Allerano par excellence based on spelt bread (also Asturian on all four sides), and thirdly, because few associations that create such a unique festival also have the award of Exemplary Village of Asturias.

So the Humanitarians are the perfect combination of solidarity fraternity and Asturian festivities based on good food and drink.
