Fiestas de San Sebastián
St. Sebastian is the Patron Saint of Xàbia. The origin of this title is immersed in legend. Some people think that centuries ago, he liberated Xàbia's citizens from the scourge of the Black Plague epidemic. For others, St. Sebastian is the Patron Saint of the Stonecutters, and given the town's artisan tradition of stone masonry work, it seems logical that they would grant him this title.
