Filà Al-Tarik's

The filà denominated Al Tarik's is a row male, although from its beginnings and until 2013, it was mixed. In 2014 women temporarily stopped parading. It is currently made up of a total of 14 components.

History

Al-Tarik's is part of the side of the crescent moon Festivities of Moors and Christians from Xàbia. It was founded in 1995 by festive members related to the party since its inception, some of them being founders of the Moors and Christians festivities of Jávea in 1978, and former members of the Filà Jalufos.

Their first parade was in July 1995, forming a squad of men and another of women. The formation of the female Filà was formed, for the most part, by the women of the men who had created the filà and some other invited women.

Since its inception, the filà has always had approved statutes and the acceptance of new members must be approved by at least two partners.

Their house, the one they acquired in 1996, was always located on Calle Sertorio, 2, being the filà's social premises, but currently it is located on Calle Santísimo Cristo del Mar, 15.

Your name

The filà, when forming, takes the name of Al Tarik's, according to written history, the name of the first Arab leader, called TARIK Iben Ziyad, who led the first Arab invasion of our Visigothic Hispania, in 711 AD.
