Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th XXI Tiraset Contest “Tir i arrossegament”
(10.00 am and 4.00 pm)
This tradition, which is purely Valencian, has its origins in the transport system. Animals such as horses or mules carried the farming products from the fields to the market by towing the car. The “pull and tow” competition has two categories: the tiraset (tow) is the easiest one and the horse tows a small boat made of iron with the load, similar to the ones used in the rice fields; and the car pulling, which is in a land field. At 10:30h: Beginning of the Tiraset contest. At 16:00h: Continuation of the contest. More info: http://oliva.es/arees/vida-cultural/cultura/
