sunday 15th 9th Joies’ Race
11:00h Long ago, during San Antonio’s holidays, it was a tradition to join in the horse races that were celebrated in the old route of Xàtiva. Riders were adolescents in love who were competing with the only desire of winning the trophy: a white silk handkerchief, the “joia”. This handkerchief was given as a present to the girlfriend as a love proof. It is for this reason that this race is called “Carrera de Joies”. As time went by, the roads were paved and the tradition disappeared. But a few years ago, a group of friends started again and this year it is going to be celebrated once again. You can enjoy this amazing race in Mitja Galta beach, which is located in the south part of the Yatch Club, C/Alfons el Magnànim. Organised: “Asociación amigos del caballo” http://oliva.es/arees/vida-cultural/esports/
