Sant Jordiet gets new horse for Alcoy's Moros y Cristianos festivities
The traditional Sant Jordiet of Alcoy will have a new horse for this year's Moros y Cristianos celebrations.
This year’s Moros y Cristianos festivities in Alcoy will feature a notable novelty: Sant Jordiet, the children’s character representing Saint George in the celebrations, is getting a new horse.
This figure is one of the most beloved and emblematic elements of Alcoy’s festivities, especially for the youngest who enthusiastically follow his participation in the parades and festive events.
The new steed will accompany Sant Jordiet during the traditional parades and events scheduled for the patron saint festivities, which take place around Saint George’s Day, the patron saint of Alcoy.
The renewal of the horse represents an effort to keep festive traditions alive and ensure that new generations continue to enjoy this iconic character in the Moros y Cristianos celebrations.
