germ of the alguaceño poblamiento modern and clear sign of identity of the history and idiosyncrasy of the local soul.
The scenic lookout formed by the confluence of the Segura and Mula rivers is another of the ingredients that play in favor of this beautiful corner of essence Murcia easily accessible by road and a stone's throw from large urban centers as they come to be the neighboring municipalities of Molina de Segura and Las Torres de Cotillas.
It is in this balanced collection of nature, tradition, art and splendor that ultimately where 17 years ago, thanks to the drive and selfless effort of a group of local residents, emerged the National Championship of Launch of Alguazas Legon.
Noble and enthusiastic people like Antonio Luis and Martín Fenollar and Diego Mulero, framed in the federation promoting entity "El Legonazo", are several of the drivers of a unique event in Spain that year after year - in the final stretch of each month of July- brings together, with organizational success, logistics and criticism, hundreds and hundreds of participants - men and women divided into two categories of gender with José Antonio Martínez and Ascensión Martínez leading the podium - and spectators.
The legón is one of those implements that have left the indelible stamp of a way of life, the huertano, in the collective imaginary of our land and to that spirit of keeping alive the memory of ancestors that struggled theirs in the lides of tame floods, siembras, bancales, caballones and tahúllas responds the primordial objective of this national championship that receives, for its good development, the collaboration of numerous sponsors of all the Region, a hundred in this present edition 2018.
