Alcoy Moors and Christians Festival

The Alcoy Moors and Christians Festival is one of the most spectacular events to take place on the Costa Blanca. Part of the celebrations to honour St.George, patron saint of the region, is a re-enactment of the battle between the Moors and Christians, with the sound of swords hitting shields and blood curdling screams reverberating around the streets.

In preparation for the main battle, for two days the armies march around the town, to the sound of pipes and drums. All ranks are represented from the top officers down to the pitch fork carrying peasants.

The major battle takes place the day after St.George´s Day, 24th April, and explosions, fake gun fire, and plenty of smoke can be seen and heard all over Alcoi.

Great emphasis is put on the authenticity of this festival to make it as realistic as possible, and the end product gives a great insight into the proper battle which took place in the 13th Century.

10 Things to do in Ronda -Costa Del Sol

1 In the wild: the Serranía Ronda

Serranía Ronda

The famous Sierra de las Nieves, meaning Mountain of the Snows, is 1,919 metres above sea level. The perfect place for hikers, walkers and sightseers who just want to enjoy the view. Don´t be surprised to see a few mountain goats or deer wandering by. Just inland from the Costa del Sol, the Serrania de Ronda is also home to a wide variety of birds, including vultures, eagles and owls. Flora, fauna and open countryside make this a must-visit area for lovers of the countryside.

2 Experience new heights: Puente Nuevo

Old Town

The Puente Nuevo is one of Ronda’s grandest bridges. It was built in 1751, but is still known as the new bridge, and is one of three bridges which span the famous Ronda Gorge. This 120 metre gorge splits the town in two and you can enjoy some stunning views over El Tajo, Ronda. Puente Nuevo took 42 years to build, and according to local history, the national forces during Spain´s Civil War would throw the republicans to their deaths in the gorge.

3 Spanish sanctuary: Iglesia de Santa María La Mayor

Plaza Duquesa de Parcent, Old Town

The Church of Santa Maria La Mayor is steeped in history in Ronda. Originally a Muslim mosque, the church was built in the 13th Century, and is a mixture of designs and facades which reflect the different rule of southern Spain over the years. After an earthquake half destroyed the church in the 16th Century it was rebuilt and became one of the most sacred churches in Ronda. Two lions guard the doors and the altar is stunning..
4 Local history: Palacio de Mondragón

The Palacio de Mondragón is one of Ronda´s most famous museums and features a huge number of local artefacts which have been collected over the years. Moorish remains are exhibited along with a host of treasures which depict Spanish rulers over the centuries. A must for lovers of art and history.

5 Explore the gorge: El Tajo

Ronda is a historic town that transports you back to the times of Andalucian folklore and legend. There is no better place to explore the history and landscape of Andalucia than in Ronda. You can meander round the streets on foot or enjoy walking around the top of the Ronda Gorge. One of the most popular walks is around 5km long and takes you across the Puente Nuevo and winds its way down to the square of Campillos, finishing in the district of San Francisco. By walking around the town you will experience Ronda´s history and beauty at your own pace.

6 Hit the shop: shoe fetish

There is much more to Ronda than historical monuments and the famous El Tajo. If you love to shop, then you won´t be disappointed in Ronda. The locals have a passion for shoes, and local, soft leather footwear of every variety can be found in Ronda – and the prices are so much cheaper than in the swish resorts of the Costa del Sol. Whatever you want to buy you are sure to find a bargain in Ronda.

7 Where it all began: the bullring

Plaza de Toros

Said to be where bullfighting all began, the bullring in Ronda is one of the oldest in Spain. Originally a place where locals could be trained in horsemanship, in 1572, King Philip II introduced bulls to test the horse´s stamina and strength. It wasn´t until the 18th Century that men began to fight bulls alone and without the horses. The most famous bullfighting family to arrive in Ronda was the Romero family. Pedro Romero fought 5,600 bulls without ever being injured. The bullring at Ronda also houses a museum near the entrance.

8 Fit for a king: Casa del Rey Moro

Calle Santo Domingo

The Casa del Rey Moro has a Moorish style, but was actually built in the 18th Century and has become one of Ronda´s most visited sights. Housing a water mine, which was built to bring water up from below the Ronda Gorge during the wars between the Moors and the Christians, the first target of any army in those days was the water supply. The staircase has 300 steps and visitors are intrigued by the ´Room of Secrets´ where they can whisper to each other through the walls.

9 Natural charm: Beautiful Ronda Gardens

Paseo Blas Infante

The beautiful gardens of Ronda are situated behind the bullring, and offer visitors stunning views over the countryside and mountains. You will stand high over a huge drop with an auditorium close by for summer concerts. The gardens are free to enter, and are the perfect spot for taking photos

10 Soak in culture: Baños Árabes

Old Town

The Moorish Baths are a perfect example of Ronda´s intriguing history and Moorish influence. Horseshoe arches welcome visitors to the baths which date back to the 13th Century, and attract visitors from all over Europe. In the days of Moorish rule, there was an Arabic bath on every street which bubbled with hot water. Ronda was one of the last cities to fall to the Romans, and most of its Arabic baths remain intact after all these years. History and culture combine to transport you back to the days of Moorish rule in Spain.

There are two boutique cheap hotels to stay in Ronda hotel ana maria , camoino de la Ronda and hotel san gabriel , ronda de dalt .great places to stay and find the secrets of ronda walking in the mountains ,

The city of Almeria – Arabic for The Mirror

Steeped in history, Almeria is situated in the east of Andalucía, and boasts some of the region´s most stunning architecture. The city of Almeria is situated in the province of the same name, which stems from the word Al-Mariyat – Arabic for The Mirror.

For more information about things to do in Almeria

The Moorish castle, the Alcazaba, is the second largest in Muslim fortress in Andalucia – after the Alhambra at Granada, and it was once one of the most important port cities in Spain. The Moors controlled Almeria until 1489, when it was surrendered to the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella.At least four earthquakes shook Almeria in the 16th Century – the largest of which in 1522 destroyed the city, and the Muslims who remained were expelled from the region and sent all over Spain. During the 18th Century enormous iron mines were discovered and many British and French settled in the area, which bought renewed prosperity to the area.

During the Spanish Civil War, Almeria and Malaga were the last cities to surrender to Franco´s forces, and it was only after his death that an autonomous status was granted for the region.
In the later part of the 20th Century, Almeria enjoyed massive economic growth with tourism, and also with the advent of intensive farming and the growing of fruit and vegetables, which are still the biggest money earners for the region. Much of the agriculture is situated in the west of the region, where visitors will see field upon field of plastic greenhouses, which produce tons of fruit and vegetables. Seventy per cent of the food grown is exported to other parts of Europe, and the UK is one of the biggest importers.

Also around this time, several spaghetti westerns were filmed in Almeria. Its dry, dusty landscapes, including the Tabernas Desert, made it the perfect location for films such as, A fistful of dollars, and The good, the bad and the ugly. The driest region in Europe, Almeria has over 330 average days of sunshine per year. Lawrence of Arabia was also shot here in 1962.Another quirky feature of this province is the El Playazo Beach, which is the largest nudist beach in Europe, and even boasts its own accommodation for naturists wanting to make a holiday of it.
The region can easily be reached by the A-7 Mediterranean Highway and the A-92 which links it with the rest of Andalucía. Marbella and the Costa del Sol is approximately 220km and if you are not in a hurry, take the coastal road. Almeria also has good airport and train routes. By sea, the port of Almeria has lines to Algeria, Morocco and Melilla. There are also moorings for pleasure boats.

One of Almeria’s most beautiful natural parks is the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, which is of volcanic origin, and is the largest and most significant marine-terrestrial space in the Western Mediterranean. Covering an area of 380 square kilometers, this is one of Andalucía’s most visited nature reserves. Covering areas of Nijar, Almeria and Carboneras,
the region´s villages attract lovers of nature and the countryside from all over Europe. The Cabo de Gata Natural Park runs through the municipal areas of Níjar, Almería and Carboneras. This is one of the few parks of its kind which also boasts un spoilt beaches, and the area´s temperate climate is one of its main attractions.

One of the better known towns in the province is Mojacar, which has become popular amongst tourists, especially from the UK, and over the past ten years, thousands of visitors have invested in holiday homes here. And with 17km of beautiful beaches, narrow streets and paved courtyards, who can blame them? From a distance, the whitewashed buildings seem to cling precariously to the hillside, and the town is sandwiched between the mountains of the Sierra Cabrera and the Mediterranean Sea.

As in most parts of Andalucía, annual festivals and ferias in Mojacar are amongst the most elaborate in Spain. One not to be missed is the annual Moors and Christians Fiesta, which is held in honor of the Arab ancestors of the town. Mock battles and re-enactments rage through the streets, and the fighters are even dressed up in authentic outfits to add extra drama to the events.

Ameria combines culture and history with the more modern attractions associated with the coastal beach resorts, including some fabulous bars, restaurants and beaches. This is the perfect place for a family holiday or a relaxing, get away from it all break.
