This noon the smell of gunpowder has invaded Dénia's heart. The roar of battle has made the whole city vibrate today celebrating its last day of the festivities of Moors and Christians.

The rows have faced each other along La Mar and Diana streets in a tough battle of arquebuses, breaking the truce they signed last Tuesday after the landing. This time, the Moorish side he proclaims himself the winner after the surrender of the Christian troops. In Dénia, therefore, the crescent will wave... for not long, because this afternoon, at 18:30, a new battle will take place and surely the miracle of the fog will tilt the balance towards the christian side.

In the act, which has witnessed several hundred people along the battlefield, only a small percentage of Moors and Christians have participated due to the strict security measures that the arcabuceros have respected.
