Right after I wrote about Fete de la Saint Jean and its bonfires, I noticed that a friend of one of my sons who now lives in Spain was planning on attending a San Juan Fiesta in Valencia and bonfires were part of the program.
It took place at the beach from Tuesday the 23rd at 5pm to Wednesday the 24th at 2pm.
One long party.
Other cities in Spain such as Alicante with Fogueres de San Juan according to Spain Info "celebrate this great homage to fire for several days, a relation of the “Fallas”
in Valencia, where the main characters are genuine works of impermanent
art: the bonfires and the large cardboard and wooden figures which
go up in flames on the night of San Juan."
A sign of our impermanent existence?
Just wondering
