Another important position is that of standard bearer of the Moors and Christians Association, which this year will go to Tania García García of the Filà Tuareg, who will take over from Belén Sellés Perles, of the Marins Corsaris. As for the Christian and Moorish ensigns, Daniel Iranzo from Almogávares and Joel Vázquez from Mascarats will pass the baton to Marcos Fernández from Bulder de Contrabandistas and Andreu Sellés Perles from Moriscos.
