Description:

Watch one of Spain's unconventional and exciting time-honored rituals—correfoc (fire-running). Admire the spectacle, one of the most striking features of a Catalan festival, from the sidelines or dance with locals and see how good prevails against evil during this unforgettable night out.

Sit back and prepare to see one of the most impressive living traditions in Catalonia. The arrival of summer coincides with the celebration of customary open-air festivals and one of the most fascinating components is the correfoc. Watch villagers dressed up as devils dancing to the sounds of drums and traditional music while the town transforms into a hub of light and fireworks.

Representing the battle between good and evil, the correfoc is a fiery show taking place after sunset. Listen as your local guide explains the participants' roles and special clothes featured in performances, how they light sparklers and firecrackers, as well as the details behind this unique ceremony strongly connected to the history of the town.
