Nit del 27 al 28 de desembre a la que els agosteros i agosteres eixim al carrer a tirar-li unes carretilles al Rei Moro. Aquesta tradició s'inicia prop de les 10 de la nit amb els Cants de la Reina Mora i tot seguit comença la batalla de foc amb el principal objectiu de cremar el 'palis' del Rei Moro (estructura de fusta i canyes que porten els seus acompanyants per protegir-lo del foc). Finalment quan la gent ho aconsegueix, s'inicia el torn dels danseros que deuran penjar ristres de taronges als balcons de la plaça mentre la gent els llança coets per intimidar-los.

A aquest fragment gravat el 2006 es veu la plaça de l'Ajuntament mentre el Rei Moro passeja baix del palis amb els seus acompanyants.

Night from 27 to 28 December, Agost's citizens crowd streets to throw up lots of fireworks to Moorish King. This tradition starts around 10 pm with the songs to the Moorish Queen and then the battle begins with the main objective of burning the 'Palis' (wooden structure carried by his companions to protect him from fire). Finally, when people get that objective, it starts the turn of danseros that will hang up bunches of oranges from the balconies while people lanches rockets to intimidate them.

In this excerpt recorded in 2006 is the town hall square while the Moorish King is walking down the Palis with his companions.
