Moros y cristianos



The Annual Festival of Southern Spain



July 2014



Moros y Cristianos celebrated is mainly in the southern Valencian Community commemorating the battles, combats, and fights between the Moors (Muslims) and Christians during a period known as Reconquista in the 8th - 15th century. The festival showcases the capture of the city by the Moors and the subsequent Christian reconquest. The festival usually lasts for several days, featuring parades with pompous costumes loosely inspired by medieval fashion, portrayed through my photographs.
