Caravaca de la Cruz picked up the baton in Sariñena (Huesca) of the 2019 edition of the Poultry, Poultry and Cuniculture Championship, which was held throughout the weekend in lands of the upper Aragón and will have its next headquarters in the Fairground of Cavila in November next year.
To collect said witness, which took place during the course of a dinner, the mayor of Deportes del Consistorio Caravaqueño, María José Soria, who was accompanied by a delegation from the Association of Colombicultura of the municipality, moved to the Monegros region.
Soria recalled that "there is a large number of lovers of these disciplines who will travel to Caravaca, so this championship, which we will have the honor of hosting, mixes sports and tourism," adding that "this type of sports also show an important love for the care and respect of animals. "
The organization expects that in the next edition in Caravaca participate more than three thousand copies of the three modalities, an activity that will be coordinated by Fesacocur, the association that has the purpose of trying to change the concept in the reproduction and conservation of the breed poultry in Spain and encourage the love of breeding all kinds of birds and rabbits.
The municipality of Caravaca has great fondness, especially the pigeon, and in recent decades there have been several associations dedicated to this type of sport, which hold different competitions throughout the year.
For the people in charge of this association, having the Spanish Championship in Caravaca is an important achievement, since it will be possible to know first hand how far the passion for these modalities reaches.
In addition, it is expected that copies arrive from all corners of the Spanish geography.
In the Region of Murcia there are more than a hundred clubs, with around 4,500 members, which means the existence of numerous sport pigeons and homing pigeons that are raised and cared for, not only as a hobby, but with the aim of participating in competitions and sports competitions.
