It is a great location to swim, relax and take the sun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a life guard on duty during opening hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pool  rebuilt in 2010 is largely under used but very well maintained. There is a small daily charge for using the pool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along side the pool is a bar which serves drinks, tapas and meals. This bar stays open into the evening after the pool closes and is a great place to mingle with village life particularly at weekends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Details of accommodation in &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Quatretondeta&lt;/span&gt;

The hiking was superb. I thought I was coming for a rest but Jem had different ideas. Thanks to his experience and manner I really switched off and enjoyed the magic of my surroundings. Thanks also Pat for the totally delicious food - it was the icing on the cake at the end of each day. You have a lovely place here and I wish you all the very best with it.

The walk up the Serrella and back down to the village was magnificent - great views, spectacular rock formations, soaring eagles ( we think) and a view of "Africa"! All this was matched by your warm hospitality and absolutely delicious food, which is what made our stay so memorable. Only sorry we cannot stay for longer, but we hope to return soon.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;28th June 2010 - Mike and Nick Pointon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pat and Brian&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thank you both for a most enjoyable holiday. The "cottage" is fantastic. Walking in the mountains is pure joy, the sound of silence is magic. Fine wines, &lt;strong&gt;Excellent&lt;/strong&gt; food and the company of your good selves.

Berbers, soldiers from Marrakesh, Mudéjares, Abencerrajes, Benimerines, all preparing for war. A group of Andalusian bandits is also there, as well as Basque soldiers, an army from Asturias, even a band of Valencian peasants armed with farming implements. All are set for the battle. Martial music announces the glory of the coming struggle. The people lining the streets admire and encourage the warriors. Soldiers march, sergeants wave at the crowds and horsemen show off their skills. All day long the hosts parade through a city decked with banners, especially the red cross of Saint George. The mood is festive as Alcoy sends her armies off to war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HSSUQ-G1-hM/SdCAszEX-NI/AAAAAAAAAb4/Nr-6vrd4_u4/s1600-h/034_NC.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px; float: left; height: 206px; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318892667035711698" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HSSUQ-G1-hM/SdCAszEX-NI/AAAAAAAAAb4/Nr-6vrd4_u4/s320/034_NC.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two days later the city is filled with the roar of battle, the smoke of gunpowder covering the city as a fog. The Moors and the Christians do battle during the whole day; the Christians, are defeated in the morning and the Moorish crescent can be seen on the ramparts of the castle were the red cross had once flown. When the fighting is at its fiercest, Saint George himself appears at the top of the castle to aid the Christian armies. The tide is reversed; the Moors retreat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Every year, in April, &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;the Saint gives victory to the Christian hosts as Alcoy, in the Valencia, re-enacts the famous, and largely mythical, battle. The celebration is one of the great fiestas of Spain, the greatest in the world, according to many an Alcoyano. From our experience of over 20 years of enjoying and joining in the fun we would certainly agree with this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HSSUQ-G1-hM/SdCA7dGi3TI/AAAAAAAAAcA/NLRHD5_iIKA/s1600-h/008_NC.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 206px; float: right; height: 320px; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318892918837271858" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HSSUQ-G1-hM/SdCA7dGi3TI/AAAAAAAAAcA/NLRHD5_iIKA/s320/008_NC.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;La fiesta&lt;/i&gt; is a year-long business for the people of Alcoy, as they prepare for those four days. Membership in one of the 28 Moorish or Christian armies, called &lt;i&gt;filaes&lt;/i&gt;, is much more than a hobby. The participants meet regularly throughout the year to commune with their brethren, raise funds, organize banquets, and plan out the many activities that make up the fiesta. For them the year starts and ends in April, the time when they don their costumes and march to the sound of the bands. The euphoria is topped off during the battle, when they fire hundreds of blanks with their blunderbusses in this, the noisiest of Spanish fiestas. Money and time are spent prodigiously by the members of the filaes. Many save up throughout the year, and more than a few make yearly visits to the local pawn shops. The matter of clothes is expensive enough. Every army has its own traditional costume design, both fancy and fanciful. Many of them, especially those of the captains, cost a small fortune. Every year, the Christian and Moorish captains are provided by different filaes on a rotation basis. They always vie for the best-dressed captain ever. At the end of the fiesta the captains, usually well-to-do businessmen, donate their costumes to the Moors and Christians museum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HSSUQ-G1-hM/SdCBTEMdrBI/AAAAAAAAAcI/VsF2krWbj8Y/s1600-h/032_NC.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 206px; float: left; height: 320px; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318893324468071442" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HSSUQ-G1-hM/SdCBTEMdrBI/AAAAAAAAAcI/VsF2krWbj8Y/s320/032_NC.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although no effort is made to achieve strict historical accuracy in the clothes, plenty of attention is given to the details, and the costumes have to follow certain rules. Some modern things are allowed, like eyeglasses and watches, and most of the soldiers, even non-smokers, chomp on cigars. These cigars are a tradition of the fiesta, although nobody seems to know exactly why. "They're just part of the fun," says one Alcoyano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this is no costume party, no carnival. No tell-tale trouser legs or modern shoes remind you that this is all make-believe. Maybe because, in a sense, it isn't make-believe; it seems, rather, that you are seeing these insurance salesmen, shopkeepers or bank presidents emerge from drab existences into their true, glorious selves. After the flags and drums, horses and castles, feathered helmets and shining armor, the rest of the year seems like mere Clark Kent stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;But you don't go to Alcoy to see grown men and women make fools of themselves, either. A welcome balance is struck between all-stops-out abandon and respect for traditions kept alive over the centuries. This is fun taken seriously. Even in the wildest moments there are some set forms. At the end of the fiesta, Alcoyanos are always sad. But there remains a consolation: "only 361 days till the next one".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HSSUQ-G1-hM/SdCBhS85yyI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/xDt_S8CchAU/s1600-h/010_NC.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; display: block; height: 206px; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318893568947505954" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HSSUQ-G1-hM/SdCBhS85yyI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/xDt_S8CchAU/s320/010_NC.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mountainwalks.com/"&gt;Mountainwalks&lt;/a&gt; are delighted to be able to offer our&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mountainwalks.com/holidays.php"&gt;"Taste of Spain in the footsteps of the Moors " guided walking holiday&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Commencing &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;18th April 2012&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This full board walking holiday includes a full day at the fiestas on 22nd April to witness the spectacular parades.
