LOS Montesinos commemorate twenty nine years of Municipal autonomy – 1990-2019 – during July 25-30 in the picturesque Vega Baja hamlet.

“The Segregation from Almoradi in 1990 was an unforgettable day for Los Montesinos – people took to the streets to celebrate,” said Los Montesinos Mayor Jose Manuel Butron.

The XXIX Fiestas De La Segregacion sees a plethora of activities – catering for all ages –  presented by the ‘Holiday’ teams at Los Montesinos Ayunmiento.

Los Montesinos, Alicante, which has under 5,000 inhabitants, formerly part of Almoradi, will reminisce the street parties of 29 years ago, that saw the people line the paths as bands marched through the streets.
