San Jorge Mártir

Planning travel to Spain in April?

On April 23rd we celebrate St. George, today we are familiar with St. George as the patron Saint of England.

Known as San Jorge Mártir in Spain, this festivity is specially celebrated in Banyeres de Mariola in the province of Valencia. From April 22nd through  April 25th the town celebrates their patron saint.

Daily reenactments of the victories during the crusades are the highlight of this festivity and if, you are in Spain this time year, it is worthwhile stopping by this small town to enjoy the festivities and shows.

Discovery of Spain is never quite complete until you have experienced a Spanish fiesta. If you need more information or help incorporating this and other unique elements to your off the beaten path Spanish vacation, contact us, we are happy to help: http://www.discoverspanishlife.com/contact-us/
