Declared to be of regional tourist interest, the ‘Moros y Cristianos’ festivities are Guardamar del Segura’s most popular one. They place from 19 to 28 July.

The ‘pregón’ or proclamation starts off the festivities. This followed by a theatrical representation of the ‘leyenda de l’encantá’ (a legend on which the festivities are based). This includes a light, water and fire show around the town’s Dama de Guardamar (lady of Guardamar); an Iberian sculpture from the 4th century BC.

The first days are a sequence of parades, music and ‘correfocs’ (literally run with fireworks!). These are followed by other Moor and Christian programmed events and a medieval market.

Guardamar del Segura es conocida por sus dunas, sus largas y codiciadas arenas y aguas color turquesa.

Guardamar del Segura is known for its dunes, its long and coveted sands and turquoise waters.

The surname of the population comes from the controversial river, the origin of its wealth and its once fertile and productive orchards. Still today in Guardamar proliferates the cultivation of the ñora, indispensable condiment of all rice that boasts and very typical of this area and Alicante in general.

At the mouth of the river there is a modern marina. In addition to its paradisiacal fully natural beaches, Guardamar del Segura also has other very well-equipped urban areas with all the services imaginable.

The dunes keep treasures of the past in Guardamar del Segura. Beyond the landscape and biological value that undoubtedly treasures the set of huge dunes and natural vegetation that is installed on it, the existence of a Rábita Califal, dating from the ninth century, north of the urban limit of the population, in one of the last bends that the river makes before its mouth confers an incalculable historical value.

The fortification, which at the time was a path for prayer and holy war, was inhabited by warrior monks and today is in the process of restoration and excavation. Its strategic location connects it with other Mediterranean fortifications such as the one existing in Tunisia and makes it one of the best preserved in the Islamic West, as well as the oldest.

Along with this travel through history we can perhaps plunge into loneliness in the more than four kilometers of exceptionally well preserved beach and let ourselves be carried away by the history of which we are part, rocked and cradled by the waves in an unforgettable environment.
