Advertising for the Moors & Christians Parade
We make sure we are in Spain for Fiesta. In September, Peniscola has a massive party, lasting a couple of weeks. Parades, Bands, Fireworks, all night Disco’s and traditional Spanish celebrations.
It’s better to show you the photos, words can’t really explain the atmosphere!

There are many different attractions, something for everyone. The Mandarina Club organised a Vespa and Lambretta Parade starting on the seafront.

One of the biggest events is the Moors & Christians Parade. In reality, there two. They march into town one day, and back out the next. Getting a good seat for the Parade takes planning. This part of the audience is on a Roundabout.

Each group of Moors & Christians have a Marching Band with them, and they all play a different tune, which makes for a noisy Parade!
Moors March Out
On the second day, the Parade marches out of the town. It was very windy, there was quite a lot of sand blowing around. Full credit to the Parade participants for not being affected.
