In October 2026, Calp celebrates the 50th anniversary of its Moors and Christians Festival, one of the town’s most important traditions. For several days, the streets fill with music, gunpowder, elaborate costumes, parades and historical re-enactments, revealing a very different side of Calp beyond sun and beaches.
Among the highlights are the Moorish and Christian Grand Parade, the spectacular Landing on Arenal-Bol beach, and El Miracle, a performance closely linked to local history and devotion to the Santíssim Crist de la Suor. The programme also includes religious events, music and a Children’s Parade that helps keep the tradition alive among younger generations.
The visit can be completed with a stroll through the old town, the Medieval Pobla d’Ifac and the Baños de la Reina, as well as enjoying the Peñón de Ifach, the beaches and local gastronomy.
A perfect getaway to discover Calp from a different perspective and celebrate half a century of history, culture and festive tradition by the Mediterranean.
