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.
