The cultural association Más Ruines que Caín gives a very positive assessment of the recent San Miguel Arcángel celebrations. It increased public participation and involved around 75 people in historical re-enactments, in addition to contributors from each locality. Its secretary, Inma Marrero, highlights the group’s ability to involve people of all ages in recovering Majorera history and traditions, from five-year-olds to people over 85.
