Encyclopedic overview
Banyeres de Mariola ( Valencian: [baˈɲeɾez ðe maɾiˈɔla], also [maɾiˈɔlɔ]), known simply as Banyeres (Valencian: [baˈɲeɾes]; Spanish: Bañeres [baˈɲeɾes]), is a settlement and a municipality in the north of the province of Alicante (Spain), 860 metres above sea level, with a population of 7,500. The main employer is the local textile industry. The town has a Moorish castle that dates from 1214, and is surrounded by mountains, almond and olive trees.
From the 22 to the 25 April each year the town celebrates the Moros i Cristians (Moors and Christians) festival, commemorating the 13th century defeat by the Christians of the occupying Moorish rulers. It is a festival of pageantry, costume, and pyrotechnics.
