Moors VS Christians I Es Firó Port de Sóller I abcMallorca

Fleets of Turkish and Algerian pirates landed on Sóller’s beach in 1561. Armed with only wooden swords and small stone catapults, the town’s inhabitants courageously defended their homes from the attack, causing defeat and earning them a place in Mallorca’s hero history book. This attack is still re-enacted and the victory over the invaders celebrated in the big annual folk festival Es Firó.
