We now know the winning teams of the "Pintor Carlets" Special Teams Competition 2026, sponsored by Tecnocrisa, an initiative that recognizes and values the work, creativity and effort behind the Special Teams of our Festivities.

⚔️ On the Christian side, the award went to the Comparsa Cruzados, with the La Paella squad.

🌙 On the Moorish side, the winning team was La Sed, Desastre and Porra, from the Comparsa Taifas.

👏 Congratulations to both teams for the recognition and for contributing, with their staging, design and originality, to enlarging the Moors and Christians Entrance of Ontinyent.
