The reception of the Moorish captaincy marks the countdown for the great days of Moors and Christians

The Moors and Christians festivities of Dénia in honor of Sant Roc are just around the corner. This Sunday, August 13, the landing will be celebrated on the beach of the old Saladino, an act that will mark the kick-off of the great days of the festival.

But first, the leading role falls on this year's captaincies, the Filaes Templaris and Amazigh. On Thursday night, with the storm over, the festeros gathered in the Amazigh cabal to start the entraeta along Paseo del Saladar, Diana and Marqués de Campo streets.

Again, thousands of people crowded the route, in which 16 filaes paraded accompanied by the musicians of Xarangata and Cachorras Band. An informal but crowded entourage of the arrival of big days and Dénia is filled with the essence of the Moors and Christians in honor of Sant Roc.
