The town of Bocairent, in Vall d'Albaida, is hosting a Renaissance fair that transports visitors five centuries back, offering a unique experience of culture, gastronomy, and crafts during the Easter holidays.

This initiative not only includes craft and food stalls but also invites exploration of the municipality's most emblematic spaces. Among these, the Covetes dels Moros stand out, artificial caves excavated into the mountain with windows open to the rock and suspended halfway up the cliff.
This complex, dated between the 10th and 11th centuries, has become a landmark for both Bocairent and the entire region. Another point of interest for attendees is the rupestrian monastery, an enclosure excavated into the rock in the mid-16th century to serve as an underground convent for cloistered nuns.
The Renaissance fair's main objective is to strengthen Bocairent's cultural identity and highlight its rich historical heritage, while also boosting local commerce. It is an opportunity to enjoy a different Easter, combining history, tourism, and entertainment through the town's streets.
