Moros+y+Cristianos9

Moros y Cristianos:
 *  Although it is also a tasty dish in Cuba, it is also a traditional mock fight in Spain. It takes place from April 21- April 24. This mock battle is between the Christians and Moors. Today, the Moors are known as Muslims. Throughout the year, over 150 festivals take place honoring the festival. Of all traditions and festivals, Moros y Cristianos is one of the most important in Spain. **


 *  All year long, the people of Spain are preparing in one way or another. They must prepare costumes, raise money, and gather the 28 armies to learn their part in the battle. A parade is held in downtown Alcoy, with bands and dancers, plus lots of food! While they march through the town of Alcoy, the Christians and Moors face off, with the Moors winning a morning battle and the Christians coming through and taking over by a sneak attack in the afternoon. Fireworks are shot everywhere, and the flag of St. George is hung off balconies, honoring their religion. **
