Reverte and Sánchez have thanked “the collaboration and support of the Town Hall of Mazarrón and its Mayoralty, and also to the Fiestas Committee of the San Isidro neighborhood” and explained that “thanks to this support we decided for Mazarrón, as we needed a beach to remember the riots produced in Brighton in May 1964. There, the “Mods” cornered after some days of riots to a group of “Rockers” and, despite to the police protection, the beach became a battlefield ”. Hence comes the rivalry between both tribes.
