Hello, Costa Blanca! Friday again? Prepare to embrace the ideal blend of Spanish tradition and international fun, because this weekend is jam-packed with exciting things to do throughout the region. From world-famous fiestas to the best antique hunting, this is your ultimate guide to what’s going on.
The northern Costa Blanca will be busy this weekend, with two events that are always highlights on the expat calendar:
Moraira Oktoberfect is Back!
Dust off your Lederhosen or simply wear comfortable shoes because the annual Moraira Oktoberfest is in full swing. This is one of the most popular international events in the area, providing an authentic taste of Bavarian culture. Head down for big beers, hearty food, and the traditional oompah-band atmosphere. It’s an excellent opportunity to socialise and mark the unofficial start of the autumn season.
Altea’s Magnificent Moors and Christians
This weekend, the stunning town of Altea celebrates its major patron saint festivities, which culminate in the spectacular Moors and Christians Fiestas. This event is not to be missed!
Expect a dazzling display of colour, extremely elaborate costumes, booming music, and theatrical historical reenactments along the streets. It’s a beautiful, traditional Spanish spectacle that provides valuable insight into the region’s history. Do not miss the grand parades.
The Music Scene: Candlelight and Classics
Looking for a cultured evening out? This weekend, the Costa Blanca will host some unique musical experiences catering to international tastes.
Candlelight Concerts:
