Rojales Moors & Christians fiesta 2010

Moros y Cristianos fiesta

The first photos are from the re-enactment of the battle with the Moors taking the castle, then the Christians offering peace under a flag of truce.
But they kill the messenger, so the Christians storm the castle & win the ensuing battle.
As a result everyone now lives together in harmony, and the parades of the various groups over the next couple of days show the accepted unity of today's Rojales - which now has more foreign residents than Spanish.
