The Segura River is one of the sources of wealth of the place, with descents that each year attract hundreds of tourists and also members of the Peña Madridista de Abarán , who make the descent in their canoes with a replica of the Champions League on duty (“This year he played with the 14th, as before they were the Décima , the 11, the 12, the 13…”, says proud Jaime Tornero de Flores , president of this active and lively rock that has just celebrated its 27th anniversary). Their anniversary party was a complete success. The Cervantes Theater , charming and very stately (declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1986), was filled with 400 fans who created a party atmosphere that gave goosebumps. The veterans Pepe Salguero (1981-87) and José Luis Morales (1993-94) could not believe so much merengue heat. Jaime recalled that the supporters club was founded in 1995, so with them came the great European streak of the new era: “We have seen eight Champions Leagues, from Mijatovic’s Seventh to this last one with Vinicius ‘s goal against Liverpool “, we Francis account, ‘El Doctor Amor’, right and left hand of the president. During the festive events, the harshness of these pandemic years was highlighted and how the supporters club was able to overcome it, but especially the happiness that Ancelotti ‘s team has given in 2022 by winning the Champions League, the League , the European Super Cup and the Spanish Super Cup.
