El Firo – the re-enactment of the 1561 battle of the Moors and Christians is held once a year in port Soller, on the north coast of Mallorca.
This was when Algerian invaders landed on the beach in the Port of Soller and marched to Soller town to claim it for the Arabs.
The Invaders were Moors (Muslims) and had intended to conquer the town and the North Coast of Mallorca

During the festival held in May there is a procession and the actual re-enactmant that starts in Por Soller and ends in the main town of Soller.
It’s alight hearted and needless to say a very ‘merry’ occasion.
