Moors and Christians
Guardamar and Orihuela celebrate Moors and Christians
THE MOORS and Christians fiesta is a major event in Spain commemorating the Christians’ victory over the Moors and the subsequent re-conquest of their land. The Moors, hailing from North Africa, invaded Spain in 711 in a bid to convert Catholic Spain into a land ruled by Islam.
By the 13th century, much of Spain was re-conquered by the Christians in the form of a united Spain, and the Moors had to convert to Catholicism, be expelled back to Africa or be killed for not doing so. However, it wasn’t until 1492 when Granada, the last Moorish stronghold, surrendered to the Catholic monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, and the re-conquest was finally over.
This major piece of history is celebrated all over Spain with mock invasions, battles and the ultimate victory of the Christians.
The Moors and Christians fiesta can last for a whole week and will often see whole towns and villages participating in the traditional event.
Next week is the turn of Guardamar and Orihuela, celebrating the Moors and Christians fiesta from Saturday 16th July until Saturday 23rd July in Orihuela, and from Friday 15th until Monday 25th in Guardamar: both towns offer a varied programme of events on a daily basis for residents’ and tourists’ entertainment alike

Guardamar Beach
It was packed at Guardamar today you could not move. Had all the family their with us from Scotland and they loved it. We had a lovely lunch at one of the bars on the promenade and really chilled out. We all enjoyed our day and shall be trying La Marina beach tomorrow as friends have said that this is also a lovely beach and less crowded.
If there is anyone who has any other suggestions on any nice beaches that are not too far please let me know. Thanks

we love santa pola beach we always take our granchildren there as there as no waves and you can walk out in the sea for ages and it never goes above your knees only down side is it costs us a fortune on the way home as we have to pass mcdonalds lol
Thank you for that, its another beach we can visist and if its nice and shallow as you say it will be great for the whole family. Gracias
I always end up at La zenia and walk round to calla capitan. Then i have 2 options for food or drink. 1st walk back to La zenia to the restaurant beside the beach. or 2nd take the path to the marina at cabo roig. Long walk but nice, the beaches are nice to. oh yea, both beaches have beach bars if money is not an option lol
Thank you Chalk Face for the 2 more options of beaches to use. I did not even think of anything past Torrevieja town. Are they crowded?
There are more English on the la Zenia side, on the calla Capitan side there is a little island to walk out to, lots of fish in the water if you snorkel and a shallow bay if you have smaller children. I can't recall ever seeing a jelly fish, I think it may be netted but don't quote me on that.
So if you go enjoy and let us all know what you think.
