More than 200 walkers traveled for four hours about four kilometers of trails on Mount Fasnia through which La Mudá, a costumbrist and ethnographic rescue performance, ran. The staging was carried out by members of the Montañeros de Uzapa collective, co-organizers of the activity with the Fasniero City Council.
Carrying a glass, cutlery, plate and a handkerchief, scarf or pasmina, as requested by the organization, the walkers enjoyed the representation of the transhumance from the coast to the summit that was practiced in this area of the Island that is in Chifira, a farmhouse located on the mount of Fasniaan example of daily life from a century ago in which buildings from that time survive.
«La Muda is not a party. La Mudá is an ethnographic rescue event, for the enhancement and dissemination of values and experiences related to ways of life and the natural and rural space in which the fasnieros have lived until the last century.. La Mudá is an event created to pay tribute to all those people who preceded us and have left us a legacy of wisdom and good work,” says Montañeros de Uzapa.
This edition represents a return to normality since La Mudá saw its celebration suspended since 2020, due to the pandemic caused by covid-19. A fact highlighted by the mayor of Fasnia, Luis Javier González, who also highlighted the presence of survivors who practiced transhumance “and that counts the harshness of that life.” The representation reflects that harshness with the presence of the Civil Guard in pursuit of some neighbors through the bush and the development of farm and household tasks, as well as more satisfying aspects such as the arrival of the transhumant to the village and the conversations typical of the moment.
The organization thanked the participants, from their social networks, for “the respect, attention, availability and collaboration.”
