A bigger bang

Last night up to 400 people took part in the traditional conquering and re- conquering of the castle in Orihuela. They used more than 300kgms of gunpowder during the event which was a re-enactment of the Pact of Teodomiro. In time honoured tradition, the Moors took the castle first only to loose it later to the Christians.

Cannon

At 9:45 tonight it is the turn of the infant groups of Moors and Christians from Orihuela to parade.

Meanwhile in Torrevieja, the International Music Competition - Habenaras is in full swing with concerts in the Calle Concepción, the wharf at Torrelemata and in the Habenaras shopping centre.
