The Moors and Christians recover 3 centuries later, in the form of a parade, a forgotten history of Dénia

August 31 from 2023 - 11: 04

Federation Moors and Christians de Dénia (FEMMICC) has presented ECOS When the Moors arrive at the Saladar, a parade that aims to recover the forgotten history of Dénia for more than 300 years.

This initiative commemorates a historical event that took place on September 10, 1556, when Dénia was surprised by an unexpected attack by Barbary pirates. The city at that time was empty, but upon hearing the echo of a cannon shot, the Berbers left the city, thinking that it was full of people. "In honor of this event, this celebration was born with the aim of thanking God that the invasion hardly harmed the inhabitants."

The tour will start in Ronda Muralles, will go through Carrer Foramur, Carrer la Mar and end at 21:00 p.m. in Plaza del Consell, where there will be fireworks. "This route has been chosen because it will pass through where the Berber attack that started this celebration took place," said the president of the FEMMICC, Sonia Pérez.

With this parade, the federation aims to value Valencian history and tradition, as well as its culture. «This year the FEMMICC has made a very strong commitment to history and culture. This event is going to submerge us in the roots and the birth on which our party is based, “said its president.

On the other hand, Pérez has assured that this initiative aims to deseasonalize the August festive calendar by providing an event in September "with a great attraction of people." It should be noted that this parade is key to being able to propose and qualify for a festival of National Tourist Interest.

    They basically add yet another revelry for asking for more party grants. Deseasonalize the August festive calendar they say…. hahahaha….in the end they are going to have a party for each documented Bernerian attack or for each bird that farted.

      Travel agencies have organized trips from half the world to attend the event, and have confirmed the presence of more than six hundred thousand visitors. I will not be able to attend, I hope that some international television broadcasts the act so as not to miss it.

        Without a doubt, they are going to organize an operation from the general direction of traffic to ensure normal access to Dénia
