Las Hogueras de San Juan [Spanish]

By BALTASAR BUENO TARREGA

Every year, when the night of San Juan arrives, Alicante is transformed. Fire takes over the streets, fireworks explode in the air, and the entire city gives itself over to a celebration that is much more than a festival: it is history, identity, and shared emotion. The Hogueras de San Juan reflect a people who know how to celebrate life, honor their traditions, and reinvent themselves without losing their roots. In this book, Baltasar Bueno explores the origin, evolution, and profound meaning of one of the Mediterranean's most important festivals. From its earliest origins to its establishment as a major cultural and tourist event, the reader will discover not only what the Hogueras are like, but why they continue to fascinate those who experience them. A work to understand Alicante... and to feel it.
