Spectators attended the appointment with the spirit of Don Juan in the cemetery of San Javier where after a happy reception in the pine forest of entrance to the cemetery, the inner parade began in a row and in silence only interrupted by the impressive interpretations of four groups choirs: the Orfeón Fernández Caballero, the Coral Ars Antigua, of Torre Pacheco;
the Patnia coral, from San Pedro del Pinatar, and the Stella Maris Björk coral, as well as by musicians from the Professional Conservatory of Music of San Javier.
