Take one more look at the 11th Mud-pack Festival held June 23 and 24 in Mambukal Resort in Murcia.

Feel the rhythm and the beat of the Earth-painted dancers, the natural charm of the ladies vying for the crown and re-discover the ingenuity of Negrenses in their artworks and paintings on canvases and human bodies.

It was another season to pay tribute to the good Earth - a fitting occasion capping the Environment Week celebration.

Beyond the color, sounds and movements of the festival that drew hordes of the 'San Juan' Feast Day crowd, the message of the day was reiterated, in a similar way Marshal McLuhan conveyed it: "There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew."
