The modern Moros y Cristians celebrations in Pego began in 1967 and have grown into one of the most important festivals in the Marina Alta. Inspired by the historical encounters between the Moors and Christians during the Reconquista, today's festival celebrates local history, friendship and community spirit rather than conflict, attracting visitors from across Spain and around the world.
