In this video, Olga and I take a trip to Alicante's main festival, the Hogueras. We begin with a tour of the main square with its magnificent figurines crafted by master craftsman Pedro Espadero. We'll talk about the city's festive atmosphere, including shows and fireworks, and see how locals participate in parades. We'll learn about the festive food and drinks on offer in the city, and conclude with nightly bonfires, the burning of wishes, and the burning of figurines. Is the government's millions-dollar budget for this festival worth it? Join us on this fascinating journey and find out for yourself!
If you're planning to move and live in Spain, this video is for you!
