  5. Hi, I'm the man who led the parade of Maulets in Xàtiva. We belong to the 'Miquelets del Regne de València, 18th century reenactment group "and we are very proud to be separatists. You can visit our website www.micalets.cat. Next year we'll have a parade with more troops and resources and represent the entrance to the city of John the Baptist General Basset. Regards.
