Besides from fireworks and fallas there are even more things to see!!
moors and christians parades are also typical from several towns in valencia and alicante. Most famous are in Alzira--edited: sensenick is right (see below), it's in Alcoi----. Usually takes places the day the towns was reconquered to the moors. Are separate parades of rows of people dressed to look like moor or christian, not accurate representation of the dressed of that time, but a more or less fantastic ones. The rows (called filas) are foolowed by a band of music including kattledrums.
Some fallas are also moor and/or christian filas and they do some parades in fallas. I have seen several ones but i think that are two remarkable:
Parade of Falla Almirante Cadarso-Conde de Altea
one of the special section fallas in the center of valencia. Day 19 at 19hrs moor parade. the most important in valencia. Need to get there some time in advance to get a good place to see the parade. There are chairs to rent by the falla. The parade can be a bit long, but if you never have seen one may be of your interest to see all the differents rows of moors.
A few pics of this moor parade i took in the year 2000, sorry for the low quality.
The second that may be interesting is because is very very centrical, not too long and it's ok just to see one in a few minutes instead of standing a couple of hours
Moor parade Falla Plaza del Negrito
I have seen a couple of times on day 19 afternoon probably around 19h, in Caballeros street and Virgen square, near Negrito square.
two pictures, from 1999 sorry for the quality.
