21 January - The town lit up (Patreon)

Goodness me, this evening was the  'Correfoc' in Sant Pere de Ribes which is something that happens in the run up the Festa Major next week.  It literally means "Fire run" and is a metaphorical battle between good and evil with drumming, dragons and pyrotechnics.

It really was quite something - far more up close with the fire than say Guy Fawkes night in the UK.  In fact we were literally being showered with sparks.  Camilla came back with burnt hair and I came back with a jacket covered in burn holes.  Next year we will know what to expect.

It was a lot of fun though!  Catalans definitely know how to have a festival!!
