Anything from comedians to fantastic creatures can be found at the Festival. They can be witches, gamblers and merchants; spited husbands, calamitous players or happy dancers; galley slaves, fugitives or executioners; young lovers or tight-fisted old men. A multitude of characters populate the landscape of the Festival and mingle with the visitors, ready to surprise us and make us have a good time.
The best way to experience the Festival and enjoy the shows is to walk round the city and just let your curiosity run away with you and discover the charm of hidden corners. The old town becomes a veritable experience, with the incentive of the fact that, more than once, you will probably come across a show you do not expect.
The tarot figures escape from the cards and come to life, in a striking characterization full of magic, thanks to the elaborate make-up, the surprising costumes and the mysterious music.
With the colours of the trasts of the city’s defence, the standard bearers of Tortosa have become a benchmark in Spain and an icon of the festival wherever they go.
The mind has no secret for this Renaissance magician
The militia of Lluís Oliver Boteller is ready for action at any time.
Characters and beasts from times gone by, arising from the origins of the Corpus, join the Festival.
Some crazy knights arrive in Tortosa. As the good knights they are, they will joust and fight for the love of the same maiden, but the result will not be as expected.
The town crier announces each day’s events in a loud, clear voice.
The future of the standard bearers is in these young artists.
