Alcossebre welcomes in summer in Carnival mood!

Alcossebre welcomed summer on the night of 22^nd June with its first Summer Carnival, an initiative which brought back the local winter carnival festivities to show them to the holiday-makers in Alcossebre.

It was a magnificent night presided over by a full ‘super-moon’ and some very pleasant temperatures, making it an unforgettable night for those taking part and the public.

Over a thousand people watched the carnival parade which started from the Marina and then passed through the main streets in Alcossebre, with music provided by several DJs and a percussion group.

The fancy-dress costumes were many-hued, new costumes for the occasion and others from the winter parade used again.  The important thing was to take part and “have a great time” -  chefs, hippies, tourists, life-savers, heavies, Minnie Mouse, among others, filled the great parade with colour.

Alcala de Xivert-Alcossebre Fiestas Councillor, Pascual Herrera, said he was very pleased with the great response this initiative had received as “we have wanted to hold an event like this for some time”.

The initiative also got the summer holidays off to a great start.  “It became a special weekend, and brought so many local residents and people from all over the area here to celebrate the start of summer with us”.

The night ended in the Plaza de la Mola with a great disco organised by local DJs which went on long into the early morning.
