After conquering Ain Karim, the Islamic caliphate continued its expansion until it reached here, El Campello. The Muslim people took control, and their generosity won over the inhabitants, giving way to a coexistence of cultures and traditions. When the troops of Ain Karim were called upon to continue the conquest of other lands, the women took the reins. They kept everyday life alive, becoming the backbone of an entire people.

This boato — our parade’s grand display — is a tribute to them and also a recognition of the value of family, which gives meaning to life and has made our Ain Karim festival community great. Because that is who we are: one big family, made up of everyone who has been part of the comparsa (our festival troupe) since a group of dreamers founded it more than forty years ago.
