Moors and Christians of Moraira 2026

The Moors and Christians of Moraira are held from Friday 5 to Sunday 14 June 2026. Its hallmark is the Moorish landing on l’Ampolla beach, next to the 18th-century castle: ten days of harquebus fire, embassies, Moorish and Christian comparsas and a spectacular closing gala parade. As a complement, an Andalusian medieval market is set up from 19 to 21 June.
