Moors and Christian (Moros y Cristianos) Festivals are
held in many towns and cities throughout Spain but most predominantly in the
southern Valencian Community. The festivals commemorate the battles which took
place for the control of Spain during the period known as Reconquista (from the
8th to the 15th century).
One of these festivals on the Costa Blanca is that held
at the end of September in Altea. This picturesque town is an easy drive north
of Benidorm, around 10 minutes along the N332. You can park in the new part of
town and walk up to the winding, white-washed streets of the old picturesque
village. Just have a look at the photo's
