Cocentaina is a village in the Province of Alicante. The village is located between the mountainous Serra de Mariola national park and the Serpis river. Cocentaina is ideally situated for both road and mountain biking. Many of the roads are used for training by professional teams (Astana have been seen regularly), and several roads have been used by the Vuelta a España.
Every year since 1346, Cocentaina celebrates the Fira de Tots Sants or the Festival of All Saints. This year is the 678th Festival!
Last year, the U3A Jávea trip to Cocentaina was cancelled due terrible weather. But this year, we are going to try again! Please note that this trip is on Saturday 2nd November.
The Festival has 800 exhibitors in several different zones:
- A huge exhibition of agricultural machinery
- A fun fair
- A equestrian dressage competition
- El Zoco Arabe or Arabian Souk
- The Medieval Zone
- Large food and drink market with local products
- Street food stalls
- Artisan craft stalls
