For a few days in the month of June, Alicante looks like THIS... š„ <br />Alicante transforms for Hogueras de San Juan, one of Spain's most spectacular festivals. <br />Giant sculptures called Hogueras take over the streets. Towering, colourful, wildly detailed, and made entirely from wood, papier-mâché and cardboard. Many are funny or satirical, poking fun at politicians, celebrities and trends. <br />But here's the twist... <br />They're only meant to last a few days. <br />On the night of 24th June, La Cremà, every single one of them is set on fire. š„ It's a tradition symbolising letting go of the old and welcoming in the summer. <br />Watching these incredible works of art burn to the ground is something you'll never forget. And yes, the Bomberos (firefighters) are standing by to put it all out afterwards! š <br />Main celebrations run from around 20th to 24th June. <br />If you're visiting Alicante in June, make sure you see them before they go up in flames. šš„ <br /><br />āļø FOLLOW US: <br />https://www.tiktok.com/@globalfootprintsabroad <br />https://www.globalfootprintsabroad.com <br />_________________________________________________________________ <br />š« Need a secure way to manage your mail while living abroad, traveling in your RV, working as a digital nomad, serving in the military, running a small business, or simply wanting better mail security? <br />Traveling Mailbox digitally scans your mail for instant online access and can forward physical mail anywhere in the world with just one click!
