For a few days in May, Senija transforms thanks to its patron saint festivities. Come and discover a unique atmosphere!

Senija, in Alicante, holds its festival in honour of the Virgen de los Desamparados, Virgin of the Forsaken, every year in May. The special day is the Monday following the first Sunday of that month.

The village in Vall de Pop prepares many events for that time of year and the most traditional one of all is when they hand out the blessed bread or pa beneït. During this celebration, children accompanied by festival-goers and brass band music give out loaves of bread throughout the village.

At the Festival in Honour of the Virgin of the Forsaken in Senija, you can also take part in marching bands, street parties, parades with floats, activities for kids and communal dinners.

If you're looking for village festivals in Alicante to prepare a getaway to Vall de Pop with a great atmosphere, this is undoubtedly a great idea. And there's also a lot to see in Senija! Come and discover its beautiful traditional riuraus.
