Abstract

The objective of the present research work is to make a holistic study of the Moors and Christians celebrations of a specific town, such as Villena, analyzing all aspects of these festivals and doing it from all possible points of view. It is, therefore, a multidisciplinary study, which is based fundamentally on the method of historical research, but which will also take into account other aspects of the festivities, such as statistical or literary studies. This article summarizes a much deeper investigation on this subject and exposes the most important conclusions of it.

Keywords: Moors and Christians Festivals; otherness; Rolling of Flags; Volley of Arquebusery
