More than 60 pairs of contestants, made up of children up to age 14, have participated in the typical contest "Pilla the hare," which in its fifth year on the afternoon of this past Monday, July 9, is one of the most original and picturesque events of the celebrations of the Barrio del Carmen Alguazas.
This championship "sui generis" that breaks records every year of participation and the venue is the confluence of the street The Molineta with the Highway of Ceuta, is mechanical or game system every couple competitor-locate the 40 rabbits for the competition, and capture-in a predetermined time period, a copy previously assigned by the Commission for this festive organizer and will take into account the number or amount that each animal looks like a badge ..
If at the time marked the couple contestant fails to find the rabbit with its corresponding number selected, this issue will be assigned to another duo of participants for the same search and seizure as prize receiving the specimen caught.
It should be noted that the "Pilla the Hare" is a unique contest-and say that one of its kind in Spain, besides being one of the most renowned and participatory celebrations of the populous and emblematic neighborhood alguaceño del Carmen.
