Those buying cheap flights to Spain in time for the bank holiday may wish to hear about a celebration taking place over the upcoming weekend.
The Moors and Christians Festival covers various parts of Alicante throughout the year with this particular instalment being held in the vicinity of Jose Antonio between 28th and 31st of August.
Revellers will get to take in a series of events looking at the religious and historical past of the country by way of street carnivals and battle re-enactments, as acted out by local companies - known as filaes.
According to the Spanish Tourist Board website, the popularity of the event has caused it to spread throughout the nation, although Valencia and Alicante remain the areas where it is most emphatically celebrated.
"By taking part in this festive re-enactment, you will have the chance to discover an important piece of Spanish history, at the same time as you enjoy a festival which never fails to outshine that of previous years," it added.
