A couple of weeks ago we told you about the San Juan fiesta in Jávea and his week we are bringing a fragment of the fiesta for those who could not join.
This video shows the cavalcade of the famous parades.
Alicante has become the Spanish province with the most fiestas nationally and officially recognized as “of International tourist interest”. The last celebration to join the list is the Holy Week in Orihuela.
This traditional fiesta dates back from the XVI century. It stands out for its historical background and the devotion of the people taking part in it–especially the locals. With this inclusion, there are 7 officially declared international tourist events in Alicante:
- Moors and Christians fiesta in Alcoy: Celebrated every year in April, coinciding with Saint George day.
If you are on holiday in the town of Javea, Alicante then you are still in time to celebrate to the festival of San Juan 2010. A “Fiesta” that includes, of course, the traditional burning of the bonfires and effigies.
Featured Acts 2010 Jávea Bonfires of San Juan:
- Offering of the Flowers on Tuesday the 22nd at 19:00 pm and performance of the famous group El Sueño de Morfeo at 12:00.
