Since the 19th century Tirisiti has been done, which is a theatrical montage with puppets; this marks the beginning of Christmas and has functions from November 28 to January 5 in the main theater. A restaurant in Alcoy as traditional as the Hostel Savoy was not wanted to be outside this celebration that is why it offers a special menu as a complement to this function focused on children; we have monitors and inflatable castle in all food services and dinners.

To attract the little ones there is a children’s themed playground called Betlem of Tirisiti that is in the roundabout where they recreate elements such as the palm trees, the mountain of straw, the sheep, the bull and the long awaited globe of Milá.

The last Sunday of the year is made «les pastoretes», children in their shepherd costume parade dancing and delivering sweets from Font Redona to Plaza España.

The day of the little donkey is celebrated on January 4 as an introduction to the cavalcade, starting at 7 pm where the royal side announces the arrival of the Wise men, the little donkeys carry their mailboxes where children can leave their letters With their wishes, these letters will be read by the royal pages that later informed the wise men of the wishes of the children.
