This weekend the Costa Blanca is teeming with summertime activities—festivals, concerts, processions, and fun things for the whole family to do in the warm Mediterranean sun.
During the first weekend of July, Moraira and Teulada host the traditional “Font Santa” festival, Fiestas la Font Santa. The event features processions, live music, bull-running, street dinners, fireworks, and a lot of celebration.
Additionally, this weekend, there are two fiestas to celebrate: the Virgen de los Desaparados and the Virgen del Carmen. The former features maritime processions, while the latter features live music, community events, and gatherings.
This weekend happens to coincide with Benissa’s exciting Moors and Christians fiesta—which is normally held later in July—you won’t want to miss the costumes, parades, mock battles, and fireworks.
