Verbena, jarana, guateque… There are a multitude of words to describe the village festivals, but it is difficult for there to be one that is capable of defining the event held in a small town in Alicante on its own. Specifically, it is in Alfafaraa municipality hidden under the Sierra de Mariola, in the region of El Comtatwhich has just over 400 inhabitants, enough to organize a most peculiar party.
It has been precisely a person from Alicante, hidden behind the alias of Pegameunviaje, who wanted to spread the essence of this festival, to which he gives the title of “the rarest in all of Spain”. The creator, whose contents are related to travel, has published a video on Youtube of about 10 minutes that shows the great atmosphere that exists in this popular festival and in which all the particularities are also detailed What does this celebration have?

But it has not been this elaborate audiovisual piece, but a much shorter one published by Pegameunviaje on another of its channels, which is generating a huge impact. The glory (and the likes: more than 70,000) It is being taken by a video that is less than 20 seconds long, but that has already generated almost as many comments as there are inhabitants in the municipality of Alfafara. As paradoxical as it may seem, the traditional event held in the town is sweeping the most advanced platform, TikTok, where the creator from Alicante has collected the main idea of the party in a fleeting and concise video.

“In this town there is a party that consists of guessing where a donkey shits. The prize is 600 euros“, is the text that gives context to the images of the animal, which appears enjoying a vegetarian banquet before the expectant gaze of the public, which waits with anticipation for the mammal to choose a place to make its bowel movements.
The donkey, fundamental piece and great star of this celebration, is eating in an area limited by fences and divided into a series of plots, all of them of identical size. These small portions of land form a game board on which residents and attendees of the event previously place their bets. In the run-up to the event, the participants make their choice and choose one of these segments, hoping that the animal will drop its droppings there. a quirky game of chance linked to the cultural and livestock heritage of this municipality in the interior of Alicante and in which bettors will need ‘a lot of shit’ to win.
