Up Helly Aa is the most famous fire and Viking festival from Northern Scotland. It starts in the morning with a Viking squad parade, continues with burning a full-sized Viking longship in the evening, and ends up with a night-long party maintained by the funny performances of 30-40 different themed squads.

Moors and Christians is a romantic reenactment of a battle between Moors invaders and local Christians. If features more than 10000 “troops” dressed in jaw-dropping costumes. Most of them will have a “fight” using real medieval guns and real gunpowder, which will make Alcoy streets full of smoke and soul-shattering rumble.
