Andaluza Fair
Over the weekend, Andaluza, San Fulgencio held their annual fair and the Andalusian horses (known widely around the globe for their grace and elegance) from the riding school Cândido Pina, performed a spectacular dressage show alongside dancers in traditional flamenco attire. More than one thousand tourists and residents alike lined the streets to sample another of Spain’s many traditionally held weekend fiestas.
San Fulgencia is a small town approximately twenty-five kilometers south of Alicante and to the north of Rojales.
San Fulgencio began life during the early 18th century when it was built on reclaimed land, taken from the marshes of the River Segura.
Surviving on agriculture since these early times, it has since become popular as a tourist destination with many holiday homes being built nearby on the ever growing La Marina urbanization.
The village centre still retains the look of the typical Spanish village of the region, with a tree shaded village square bounded by its town hall and parochial church.
While San Fulgencio is an inland village, it is still close to beautiful local beaches such as Guardamar del Segura and La Marina, attracting tourists who prefer to kick back and enjoy the peace and quiet while still being able to access the busier beach areas.
