We've been told there is a parade of some sort in Benijofar tonight. Do you happen to know if this is correct please?

Can you please clarify matters with regards to the word Entrance. Last year we saw a walking parade which lasted several hours along the main street in Guardimar which included floats numerous walking bands. people in spectacular costumes ,horses etc When is it date and time wise as we wish to take newly arrived visitors to see and enjoy it. Sorry but to use newcommers its not very clear David & Wendy

All I did was take info off their website where there is more info & in English too - I put the link in my first posting.
Generally an 'entrance' is a parade/procession of some sort, but they'll all vary from year to year, so won't know when/if there's horses etc. but all will have costumes and bands.

The main parades are probably the Sat & Sun entrances of Moors & Christians &, I suspect will be like Rojales, in as far both will be very similar & last hours too. :)

I would choose the weekend, as Sat & Sun are the finale of the whole thing, so will be the best and both will feature the full parades of all comparsas, with the Sunday order being the reverse of the Saturday one.
