What's the story:

Would you like to take the time machine and land in the Tortosa of the sixteenth century? You’ll arrive in town dressed with flowers, carpets, flags and militiamen who defend one of the fifteen points of the city wall. 

You’ll find street performances, dance of swords, knights, nobles and merchants: a four-day event where children can learn to make flags, play the ball as it was done in the sixteenth century and enjoy the stories told by puppets. And if you want to play swords, you can become knights for a while. And what about meeting the dragon Cucafera?

A celebration you can’t miss if you want to see giants, big heads representing Moors, Jews and converted Christians.

A funny way to get in touch with the Renaissance.
