Dénia
Of all the festive displays of Moors and Christians in the Community of Valencia, it may well be that the one that takes place in Dénia every year between the 13th and 16th of August is the most ancient, as it is referred to in documents that date as far back as the 16th century, to 1599 to be exact.

Jávea
There are not many festivals in Spain which are organised by the townspeople themselves, without big money sponsors, and fewer still as colourful and spectacular as this one.
Dénia
The quintessential party of the town of Dénia, which has now been adopted by other nearby towns in the Valencia region. The fact is that the bullfighting tradition and the Mediterranean Sea make the perfect match in the summertime.
Jávea
On the last weekend in June, the beautiful town of Jávea holds its International Festival, a mix of culture, gastronomy, music and world class dance, with stalls representing 22 countries where visitors can sample typical products from different regions. The afternoons are filled with regional dance from each country as well as exhibitions and activities for all ages.
Pego
In Pego, when February arrives, routine stops and magic takes over the streets. It is not just any carnival. Here, the party has history, character and an identity that makes it unique in the Valencian Community. For a few days, the entire town is transformed into a stage of music, costumes and debauchery, where tradition mixes with creativity in a celebration that leaves no one indifferent. But the Pego Carnival is not just a party: it is a way of understanding life. From its origins until today, this celebration has resisted prohibitions, has evolved and has managed to preserve its rebellious and festive soul.

From the spirituality of the baptism of animals to the hustle and bustle of the medieval market, this celebration is an opportunity to connect with the soul of Benissa and enjoy an unforgettable experience.
