Dance of the "Llauradors"

Its history dates back to the beginning of our Moors and Christians festivals, suffering a long hiatus that extended from the turbulent days of the start of the civil war until 1991 when it was rescued by the Llauradors troupe, and since 2008 it has been celebrated on the Friday before the Semana Grande of our festivals.

The dance consists of seven distinctive musical pieces: a polka, two jotas, a waltz, an andante, a Valenciana, and a final galop. Each of these pieces embodies the rich cultural heritage and festive spirit of the Valencian people, attracting large crowds with its charm and grace.

The dance route begins in Plaza de Baix, at the doors of the Sociedad de Festeros del Santisimo Cristo de la Agonía (Society of Festeros of the Most Holy Christ of Agony), where the dancers, all members of the Comparsa de Llauradors (Llauradors Group), begin their performance. They then advance along Calle de la Trinidad to Plaza de San Roque, where they continue their dance, then head to Plaza del Mayor and repeat the dances in front of the imposing castle located on the façade of the old town hall. The itinerary culminates in Placeta Latonda, where the dancers perform their final movements, thus marking the close of the traditional dance of the "Llauradors."
