Latest Events in Valencia: San Roque 2023

Festivity in Spain, 16.08.2023:

I’ve had the pleasure and the honor to have as my frien one of the most devoted and passionat firework-scholars in the world, Juan García Estellés, from Burjassot, Valencia.

I’ve been able to watch him work on his artistic, ceremonial and spiritually engaging works, always based on a deep historical research of the origin and reasoning of what he does.

Magical fireworks honour San Roque in the Valencian town of Burjassot… a sacred celebration of fire and belief, a tradition calling all those who still have a spark of magic in their souls.

Under this link to Wikipedia, you’ll find some basico information on San Roque, Sant Roc, Saint Roche…

One example of the ceremonial background of the fires. In this case, in front of the Burjassot Townhall.
