Moors and Christians fiesta Rojales 2017 - Programme details

The procession from the church is due to start at 9pm, so will probably be about 10 mins past by time it crosses the bridge first time.
Then another 20 minutes or so parading and back to church.
So expect fireworks anytime after 9.30pm

As the moors & Christians are part of the main Rojales annual fiesta - in honour of the patron saint, San Pedro - there will be nothing organised in Quesada.
Saturday's & Sunday's parades in Rojales are the highlight of the year.

There are no fiestas in Quesada this weekend but they are in Rojales. The fiesta in Quesada is usually in August.

Get there early - At least an hour or more before if you want to sit on the bridge. It's a long night so take snacks and drinks. A cushion is handy too as the bridge is concrete seating but it's a fabulous place to sit as you will see the whole spectacular parade close up.

If you don't get a seat on there,just be aware that the wooden seating you will see everywhere along the route will be charged for at sometime in the evening. Council organisers will come round to take payment. Not sure how much though as we have always sat on the bridge or on the edges of the river wall.

Have a great night!

Agree with you Jan for the main Saturday & Sunday parades.
They don't tend to put many chairs out, but would only be about 2€.

I thought KimberleyHarper was asking about tonight's fireworks.

Oops sorry...doing too many things at once lol



It may be helpful to others for the weekend though hopefully.

Thank you Martin and Jan over tomorrow so will either go Saturday or Sunday.

It's best to always go early to any Parades. There will be hundreds of people there all along the route. You will see people walking around in their costumes on their way to the start. It's an amazing spectacle and not to be missed.

Sounds amazing we were lucky enough to stumble on a some parades before so will most definitely head out to catch this one too. I'm like a kid when it comes to fireworks Thank you all so much, super helpful as always! Hope everyone has a fantastic time too!

Is there anything near "the bridge" as I'm uncertain of where this is? Anything that we could gps to find it would be mega helpful
