A few days ago a friend reminded me on Facebook it’s years we knew each other.<\/span> I searched some photos of that day and found, among many others, a few of a correfoc<\/em>.<\/span> So I thought to process them and upload them here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Correfoc: Moraira 2009<\/h2>\n

The context, of course, are the loca festivities of Moraira (Alicante, Spain).<\/span> In this case, the correfoc<\/em> was held on July 17 and do not remember anyone coming out hurt or the like.<\/span> In fact, despite the appearance, it is performed by people who are dedicated continuously (and in many cases professionally) to these events, so they walk, jump and perform their show, but not as in other events as I can be a cord\u00e0<\/em>, in which participants firecrackers are shot to\u00a0each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, for what I know, in the Marina Alta region they are particularly popular, and also in some Valencian or Catalan towns and in the Balearic Islands.<\/span> I am not an expert, but they seem to come from the Balls de Diables<\/em> (Dance of Devils), a 12th century tradition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Either way, they are interesting to document and aesthetically appealing.\u00a0<\/span>The festive atmosphere is evident and one can only wonder how in the month of July there are people willing to wear all necessary protection to avoid burning (although they feel the extra heat from\u00a0fire).<\/span> I think it was in a T-shirt and I was sweating a lot.<\/span> The popular host is usually very good. You can find in the photos some curious uniforms (those of curious prints), which belong to the festeros (each year a squad is organising the festivities, those are the festeros) who were particularly close to each spark.<\/span><\/p>\n
