The Feasts of Moors and Christians in the Valencia Community: Alcoy, Orihuela, Villajoyosa
In the Valencian Community every year numerous ceremonies that recall the history of the “liberation” of the Iberian Peninsula from the Arab domination are held. It is in the province of Alicante, in particular in the towns of Alcoy, Orihuela and Villajoyosa, that we find the most interesting ones. The feasts of Moors and Christians of Alcoy and Villajoyosa have been declared of international touristic interest.
