October 1st-11th 2015

Anyone aware of anything oober Spanish in and around Quesada on the above dates.

I am over 2nd - 19th Oct looking things on too , if anyone knows anything happening I would be delighted to go.

Arts & crafts encounter at the Cuevas del Rodeo from 11 am to around 2.30pm on Sunday 4th October.
Besides the unique caves, the site is a great location on the hill overlooking Rojales and the mountains.
Of course, there will be arts & craft stalls and probably a paella.
The bar will be open too of course and there'll be BBQ there too and probably some live music.

Thanks.

Hi Benjofar tapas trail is usually around that time but I have not seen any dates yet it's great I will post if I find out.

There's also the La Mata fiesta del rosario, with a charanga (fun carnival parade) on Fri 2nd Oct at 4pm and a fancy dress parade on Sat 3rd Oct at 6.30pm.

I have put together here details of fiesta events happening in Rojales between 9th & 18th Oct:-

Friday 9th ‘Ribbon Race’

Great fun starts at 7pm in the Malecon del soto.
A marching band escorts in the parade of women who are all wearing sashes with their names on and who then take seats on the podium.
Men then take turns to ride an old bicycle towards a row of ribbons suspended over the road which have small loops on the end.
They try to spear a ribbon loop using a pointed stick and if they succeed, they then take that ribbon, which has a woman’s name on, to the podium where they exchange it for the sash the woman is wearing, giving them a kiss and a bunch of flowers whilst the band plays a short triumphant piece.
Women can enter by enrolling at the town hall free up to the day before.
Men can enrol on the day
Kind of an old fashioned blind date game I guess

Saturday 10th ‘Charanga’

Starts 9.30pm, fun craneval type parade & anyone can take part - enrol at town hall by 5th Oct

Sunday 11th Noche de Estrellas

The Night of the Stars Starts 9pm Subscribe at the town hall to participate.
