Correfocs

A ‘correfoc’ is a Catalan tradition which ensures that any festival goes with a bang! Its meaning of "fire run" really says it all! It consists of a parade through the streets, accompanied by loud music, bangers… a fiesta of sparklers, firecrackers, and roman candles with colles de diables, - groups of devils - who dance amongst the crowds as they play with fire and set off their fireworks, amidst a shower of sparks. Great atmosphere, great fun but can be very frightening for small children and animals. Wear a hat and clothes that will protect you from the sparks. (Although there is usually a fireman or two there to put you out if the worst comes to the worst!!)
