It smells, it smells! Those delicious sweets, the sausages, the fire and the delicious things. It smells of working the leather, of incense… the animals strolling around and entertaining; yes, it’s here, the Fira de tots sants de Cocentaina!
As every year when the cold weather sets in around this time, the first thing we think of is that, despite the fact that our precious summer is over, the Fira de tots sants has arrived.
And it all started back in 1346 when Pere el Cerimoniós was granted the privilege to celebrate this already multitudinous festival; and it has continued to be organised up to the present day thanks to the esteem for the land, the dynamic and enterprising spirit of the people of Cocentaina. It seems incredible, doesn’t it?
Of course, the Valencian Tourism Agency declared the fair to be a festival of Autonomous Tourist Interest of the Valencian Community in May 2007.
What started out as a small and modest fair has now become a great showcase for agricultural and livestock activities. Although there is also an exhibition of agricultural machinery and automotive equipment, craft activities, the Arab market between the medieval market and other activities.
There are three days that bring together more than four hundred exhibitors from all over the country, with an influx of public that exceeds three hundred and fifty thousand visitors. If so many people are enthusiastic about it, I wouldn’t think twice.
The Town Hall together with other associations have been responsible for programming the most varied of events for the enjoyment and enjoyment of all, so we bring you the program of events:
