Origins of the Fira de Tots Sants in Cocentaina
The Fira de Tots Sants de Cocentaina, the second oldest in Spain, has been celebrated since 1346. That year, King Pere el Cerimoniós offered the municipality the privilege of holding an annual fair under royal protection, i.e., it insured the merchandise of buyers and sellers during the round trips. Now, 678 years later, it is still celebrated on All Saints’ Day, around November 1.
