Halloween has become a popular part of autumn life here, with families, children and adults dressing up and heading out to enjoy the celebrations. One of the best-known places for the Halloween atmosphere is La Florida, around The Abbey Tavern.

Halloween in La Florida

The celebrations around La Florida have become a local tradition, with Halloween activities, music, costumes and a parade bringing people out onto the streets.

The area around The Abbey Tavern is one of the places where the atmosphere really comes alive. The annual celebrations have included children’s entertainment, live music and plenty of people arriving in costume.

For families, there are usually activities for children before the main parade, while the evening continues with music and entertainment for adults.

The Halloween Parade

One of the highlights is the Halloween parade.

The streets fill with witches, vampires, monsters and all kinds of imaginative costumes, with music and performers adding to the atmosphere.

The local council has organised Halloween parades on Orihuela Costa for many years, with recent programmes including children’s workshops, face painting, entertainment, a batucada and Halloween characters joining the procession.

The exact programme and location can change from year to year, so it is worth checking the latest information before you go.

A Different Side of Orihuela Costa

Halloween is also a good reminder that there is plenty happening on the Costa Blanca outside the summer season.

By the end of October, the beaches are quieter and the pace is different, but local life continues — and events like Halloween bring the community together again.

If you’re staying in Orihuela Costa at the end of October, head to La Florida, put on a costume and enjoy the atmosphere.

The exact activities and parade arrangements vary from year to year, with the latest programme normally announced closer to the date.
