Correfoc: Run with Fire.

There are few more exciting experiences in Spain than a Correfoc. It's a Valenciano word which loosely translates as, 'run with fire'. And there's not much more to say except, 'Don't wear your best coat!'

Snaps and video from Vila-Real, a sedate little town. Well... usually.

Welcome to Vila-Real.

I call this 'the umbrella'. Who are these crazy people?!

More rain predicted...

Finale.

Of course, for an event such as this, photos don't really catch the flavour. The excitement.

Or the terror! So here are a few videos I risked my shirt and my camera to grabar. (That's Spanish for 'record'. Neat, eh?)
