What's the story:

Do you want to see how the King James I "the Conqueror" walks in the villa of Salou among musicians, clowns, noblemen and soldiers? In memory of the king that on 6 September 1229 left the beaches of Salou with a squadron of soldiers of Catalonia and Aragon to fight the attacks of Saracen pirates to Catalan commercial fleets, which ended in the conquest of Majorca, Salou annually organizes a medieval festival.

For a few days the colors and smells of medieval markets return to the city to create the appropriate environment for the majestic entrance of King James I in the city with a weapon combat exhibition and a horse show at the Levante beach.

An entertaining way to explain history to children.
