The Filà Deniers threw the rest in the gala parade of the Moors and Christians, and took to the street a spectacular pageantry in which more than 800 people participated during the 50 minutes that the show lasted.

He opened the parade of the captaincy the "Pride of a people", with Pare Pere at the head, in which we could see how the town of Dénia has been able, since the Middle Ages, to keep intact their customs, their roots, Your way of life and your independence. Merchants, sharpeners, country people and a fun group of geese made up the first part of the Christian pageantry.

The Mediterranean Sea, which for years has brought wealth to the town of Denia and was chosen as a way for the Moor and Christian armies to come to this land, formed the second part of the pageantry, in which ballets gave way to the flag bearer Christian, Ana Adela Pastor, who toured the streets of Denia on a float that mimicked the cliffs of Les Rotes pulled by two oxen.

The third part of the page was starring Montgó, its flora and fauna. The guardians of Montgó gave way to a falconry show, with loose falcons down Marqués de Campo Street. The center of this second part was the float in which the knights of the captain and the Christian Ambassador, Tomás Chiner, marched.

Finally, Dénia Castle, its walls and battlements, was the scene on which the Christian captain, José Vicente Ivars, paraded through the center of Dénia preceded by the group of spearmen and his personal guard.
