Santa Faz is both the name of a monastery on the outskirts of Alicante and of a
local holiday. The main event is an 8 km walk starting at 8 a.m. in the city's
cathedral and ending at the monastery of Santa Faz where a relic--a piece of
cloth allegedly used to wipe Jesus's face while he was on the cross--is kept.
The religious aspect is vastly overshadowed by a general fiesta held around the
event. This year's edition was last Thursday.
