Moscatell Festival in Teulada-Moraira 2011
Teulada-Moraira is a town with rooted wine traditions, to the point if being —together with tourism— its economic motor.
For this reason, every year the town holds the Moscatell Festival, to celebrate the moscatell grape harvested in Teulada, raw material of the traditional and widely known “mistela de Teulada” —Teulada hot punch.
The festival takes place on Saturday 20 August. In this popular festival, visitors can learn the traditional methods to make wine, dance, enjoy the parades, taste grapes and hot punch, etc. This is the schedule.
19:30 h: Wine harvest parade with carriages from the “Venta” (Gabriel Miró Square) to Sant Vicent roundabout. The “Associació de Traginers Alejandro Morell” and the “Font Santa” dance group will be taking part. The parade will be accompanied by tabal and dulzaina (traditional instruments) players. The dance group will be doing different choreographies along the parade.
Next, Show-and-tell of how wine is made the traditional way, on the roundabout. Once this exhibition is finished, visitors will be offered wine and hot punch from the Sant Vicent Ferrer Cooperative.
