This Reconquest was to end only in XVII century,
following the serious economic crisis which resulted from the expulsion of the Mores, in 1609, under the reign of Philippe. It is to this monarch that was offered, at the time of  a voyage to Dénia, one of the most typical and  known festivals of all the province: "Moros y Christianos (Mores and Christians) ", still organized in spring and in summer in general happiness.  Becoming capital during first half of XIX century, Alicante is instituted like one of the centers of the greatest commercial growth, being one of the most active seaports of the Mediterranean from the exchanges between Europe and the Americas Alicante the cityThe white fortress, as known to the Carthagnians, Greeks and Romans, is a city which borders of broad avenues and gardens, its old neighborhood El Barrio  between the castle of Santa Barbara on the Benacantil mount, Rambla de Méndez Núñez and the Esplanade, with its beautiful view at the seaside. During the first quarter of XX century, the town planning of Alicante increases between the neo-classical and rationalism. The range of Postiguet gives access to the castle of Santa Barbara, the oldest monument of the city, with the most beautiful sight on Alicante.

And it is still very close to the sea, while walking from Esplanade, the music lover will be able to listen to concerts Sunday, mornings in winter and the afternoons in summer. Music, explosions of powder, imagination in clothing and costume, here are some of the ingredients of the festivals of Alicante: the liquors will be plentiful!
