Moros y Cristianos de Pego

Activity · Pego, La Marina Alta, Alicante

Fair and Moors and Christians festivities of Pego (Alicante), held the last weekend of June in honor of the town's patron, the Santísimo Ecce Homo, whose feast falls on the Wednesday following the last Sunday of the month. The preceding weekend brings the traditional Moors and Christians parades, with thirteen filaes, seven Christian and six Moorish, along with a solemn procession in which representatives of various festivals, brotherhoods and fallas take part. The tradition was reestablished in 1969, and the festivities have been declared a Fiesta de Interés Turístico Provincial (an official tourism distinction at provincial level).
