Entre las acciones de impulso a la candidatura llevadas a cabo en los ?ltimos años destaca la puesta en marcha en 2014 de la Casa Museo de los Caballos Vino, situada en pleno casco hist?rico de la ciudad, en un recuperado inmueble del siglo XVIII.
Este espacio muestra la historia y desarrollo del singular festejo a trav?s de una colecci?n de piezas, complementada con im?genes y audiovisuales.
El espacio est? compuesto por ocho salas donde se refleja la implicaci?n de la ciudad en la fiesta, destacando el valor del trabajo en equipo, la salvaguarda de las tradiciones, el respeto al caballo y la fuerza de la juventud.
Los Caballos del Vino Los Caballos del Vino, junto a los Moros y Cristianos, son parte integrante de las Fiestas en honor a la Sant?sima y Vera Cruz de Caravaca (Regi?n de Murcia), que se celebran del 1 al 5 de mayo.
Est?n declarados desde 2011Bien de Inter?s Cultural Inmaterial con car?cter etnogr?fico.
Su origen est? documentalmente probado desde hace tres siglos, aunque es una manifestaci?n anterior, vinculada a la antiqu?sima ceremonia de la bendici?n del vino la Sant?sima y Vera Cruz de Caravaca, un ritual igualmente ?nico en el mundo que simboliza la protecci?n de la naturaleza.
Los documentos m?s antiguos de su celebraci?n datan de 1765 y desde entonces la tradici?n no ha dejado de crecer, convirti?ndose en enseña de la ciudad y en prueba de devoci?n y de apego a su historia.
Las caracter?sticas y valores mantenidos por los Caballos del Vino a lo largo de su extraordinaria historia se adaptan a la salvaguarda del patrimonio mundial inmaterial que promueve la UNESCO, puesto que este protege y vela por la continuidad de expresiones que se han transmitido de generaci?n en generaci?n, han evolucionado en respuesta a su entorno e infunden un sentimiento de identidad.
El objetivo de la UNESCO es preservarlas con la mayor integridad posible para las generaciones futuras.
