This article covers modern pageants that recreate the spirit of many older pageants that celebrated the Reconquista. However, the way it reads in places sounds like a bunch of modern Muslims are participating. And if you click on the image that's described in its caption as "The Muslim Embassy" and see the figure close up, you'll see that this is not a current Muslim ambassador.
Here are some suggestions:
Use moros y cristianos, moro(s), and cristiano(s) as the terms throughout. Explain them on first use and elsewhere if necessary. Both the moros and the cristianos are caricatures, some depicted more positively than others, even within the same type, so using the native-language terms (which if not proper nouns should always be italicised) emphasizes the pageant characters, rather than the actual historical figures they are based on and their modern descendants.
Use other native-language terms in the same way, but be sure to define them and make sure to use the accented letters where needed. I see the term filà used in a couple places. Is this the same as the filaes or comparsas mentioned in the intro? If so, should filaes be filàes? I don't want to make a change based on an assumption.
Are the actors usually locals? How do people decide which group they should be in? Are they in the same group every year?
Are these pageants run by the church or the local government, or some other group?
