Almogàvers

A bit of history...

Founded in 1974, it first participated in festivals in 1975. They take their name from the ancient Almogávares who fought alongside the Conqueror King.

The design of the dress is original to the Almogavar José M. Reig Valls and has undergone very few modifications that should rather be called improvements. It consists of a short-sleeved red velvet tunic that is finished with black ends. On the chest they wear an eagle with the four bars of the Crown of Aragon, a leather belt and a black velvet cloak with gold trim and white lining, boots, leather bracers and a helmet with feathers.

The second suit was changed in 1985, replacing it with a design by Jordi Arrué, also from Almogávar, respecting the beige and brown colours and incorporating the fleur-de-lis and the cape.

The Palomar band has accompanied the Almogàvers since its foundation in 1974.
