The mayor of Murcia, José Ballesta, has presented today with a large bouquet of flowers to little David and his parents, Miriam and José David, who with him are now dads of three children.

David, with only a few hours of life and 3,600 kilos, is the first Murcian baby of spring, since his arrival in the world took place last night during the equinox;

a birth that the City has wanted to honor on the occasion of the 120 years of history that celebrate the Spring Festival.

The mayor said that "spring is the most representative season of the character of Murcia and Murcia" and recalled that "the Arrixaca is the maternal hospital with more births in Spain and the capital of the region has increased its population in 3,730 inhabitants in the last year ", figures that contrast with the whole of the country, where for the first time since the war, deaths exceed births.

This tribute to the first baby born with the change of season is a "recognition of the life of those of us who inhabit a city that is life in the spring" -has indicated the mayor, who recalled that "we are going to live a unique Spring Festival in the that we are going to claim with good pride that we are Murcia, that Murcia is the only place that is reborn every spring ".
