Popular traditions of Javea: Els colombaires

January 03 from 2013 - 19: 37

Palomos sports or colombaires always have originated from a particular hobby among men of Jávea to be a typical sport of Valencia.
The sport consists of keeping the males in independent cages. When the day of the "release" arrives, a dove (female) marked with a white feather in the tail is launched into the flight. The pigeons (males) follow the female and compete with each other until one of them manages to keep the female or even take her to his loft.
Fans follow their pigeons in all its developments and to give more excitement they have placed bets on which palomo male female conquer.
