Historical Reenactment events in Spain

Up to twelve Historical Reenactment fiestas in Spain have created an association to promote these events in the country. Here you are the most interesting ones, 

• Astures and Romans (Astorga, León, end of July): a great event of Roman Reenactment in which the indigenous Astures play a key role. The city's bull ring is disguised as a Roman Circus to house the main act. Not to miss: the Astur village and the Roman camp, built for the event every year. More than 1,000 reenactors from Astorga (population: 12,000) take part in the event.
• Carthagineses and Romans (Cartagena, Murcia, end of September): up to 50 groups take part in this event, considered of National Touristic Intererest in Spain. The festival is based in the Second Punic War, where Cartagena played a key role.
• Moor and Christian Festivities (Alcoy, Alicante, April): probably one of the first reenactment events in the world, it is already documented in the 15th century. Thousands of reenactors take part in the event every year, and you will have to book well in advance if you plan to stay for the three-day festival.
