Juanjo Alcántara Remembers His Journey Through Flamenco in the Proclamation of the San Pedro Fair

San Pedro Alcántara kicked off its Fair and Festivities 2025 last night with an opening day full of tradition, the highlight of which was the proclamation by local artist Juanjo Alcántara, as well as the official lighting of the La Caridad venue. In a completely full arena, the singer offered a journey through his professional and personal life with songs and experiences, in a speech that paid tribute to his land and roots.

"San Pedro is such a beautiful place that those who come want to stay; a land that has given me everything," an emotional Alcántara said, recalling how he experienced the fair as a child thanks to his father, a councilor of the Festival Committee from 1991 to 1999 and responsible for milestones such as the installation of the first Day Fair bar in the city center.

He also reminisced about his professional beginnings at the first local television station in San Pedro, founded by his father, and his artistic growth, both behind the microphone and on stage. "It was a real discovery for my family that I could sing," he confessed. During his speech, the announcer thanked the municipal corporation for the opportunity to lead the event and dedicated special words to his family for their constant support.

"A very special edition"

For her part, the mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, congratulated the announcer and stated that "we are very lucky to know Juanjo in his many facets." "He is a person with light, who overflows with art, who loves San Pedro and who lives for San Pedro," she said. The mayor expressed her confidence that "we will live a fair to remember and that everyone will enjoy it." Muñoz also noted that "this will be a very special edition, with an extended duration until Monday, October 20, as the patron saint's day, San Pedro de Alcántara, falls on a Sunday." She also highlighted improvements at the fairgrounds, with more booths and attractions, and mentioned that "we have one of the most beautiful and well-equipped venues."

The opening day began with performances by several dance academies in the Church Square and continued with a lively parade of giants and bigheads, accompanied by the 'Ramón Mayén' music band and a flamenco and bullfighting animation show. The official lighting of the fairground, at the 'María del Carmen Álvarez Mora' roundabout in La Caridad, featured the presence of singer Juanlu Montoya, who closed the evening with a performance. Before this, the coronation and sashing of the Queens, Kings, Ladies, and Miss San Pedro Alcántara 2025 took place.
