FIESTAS OF GUARDAMAR DEL SEGURA
MOROS Y CRISTIANOS
The most popular festivity of the municipality of Guardamar del Segura is the Moors and Christians Festival in honour of the patron of San Jaime Apóstol village celebrated during the second half of July.
One of the most typical elements of these fiestas of Guardamar is the staging of “La Leyenda de L’Encantá”, which involves a light, water and fire spectacle that tells the story of a young warrior that fights against powerful monsters with the purpose of releasing a beautiful lady from a spell by taking her to the Segura river so that she can wash her feet.
The closure of the traditional “barraca” leads to the so-called “kábilas” and stalls of each of the eight groups (“comparsas”) that participate in the Moors and Christians Festival of Guardamar.
The first days of the fiestas are based on entertainment, while during the second part more typical events of Moors and Christians are carried out such as guerrillas, parades, the staging of the capture of the Castle, etc. The “Entierro del Moro Traidor” parade is the first important event of these fiestas of Guardamar del Segura.
To conclude, there is a great firework display on Guardamar beach.
Date: during second half of July.
