Fira de Tots Sants in Concentaina
The celebration of Tots Sants, All Saints Day, is celebrated 40 days after the fall equinox, and in Cocentaina the oldest street fair in Spain is held then. It is a market where one can find all sorts of things, from modern agricultural industrial machines to cars, food, handcrafts and antiques.

In 1346, Pedro IV el Ceremonioso signed a decree allowing Cocentaina to celebrate the Fira de Tots Sants. This festivity also coincided with the end of the agricultural season when the carob beans were gathered, the almonds husked, and the olives and the grapes were pressed. It was time to acquire new animals and agricultural utensils. Today, the fair, which has adapted to the demands of industrialism and modern social and economical exigencies, is an important event for the people of the Region of Valencia. In addition, the fair provides opportunities to enjoy Cocentaina's fine cuisine, with tasty dishes such as olleta, facedures de dacsa, mentirons, pericana and l'espencat de bacallà. Typical tapas are tostons, roviols and sangueta. And delicious desserts include mantecats, almonds and boniato pastissets. Popular drinks are the herbero and mentira, aigua llimó negre and herbal teas from the Serra Mariola. |
Also, in addition to the fira, cultural events and shows have been programmed.
