Denia holds a miniature Fallas Festival March 16 to 20 burning effigies on the final midnight. During Festa Major locals prove they’re just as gutsy as their fellow countrymen in Pamplona – bulls and fans drive as one into a pool of water a feat known as bous a la mar.
In mid July the fiestas de la Santisima Sangre feature street dances, concerts, mock battles, and fireworks over the harbour.
The parades and religious plays of the Fiesta de Moros y Cristianos celebration also take place between August 14 and 17.
