Elche Festival 2010
It's a two-week extravaganza of of stylised Moors+Christians parades, a crazy parade (charanga), Elche-wide Arroz con Costra competition, i.e. a Spanish paella with a souffle top, plus a large one that can feed 2000, tapas and beers in the central park, fireworks during the day plus a half-hour fireworks display in the centre of Elche which is more like a war zone, and then to top it off with a Vatican-sanctioned and UNESCO recognised medieval play in the city Cathedral over a whole weekend. And lots of food and wine.
