This is an EPIC must see festival happening once a year in El Campello, Spain. 

At sunrise the Moors attack the beach and overrun the Christians living on the coast. As the story goes, the Moors pushed back the Christians into a tower and began negotiating their surrender.

There is also probably a lot more to it that I didn't really understand, but the basic idea of people coming together once a year to celebrate their shared history is a wonderful thing. 

And seeing this epic battle take place on the sand at sunrise is an awesome experience.

I hope you like the video and thanks for watching.
