[Leica] Correfocs - Sitges Festa Major

[Lluis Ripoll]

I’ve been some days in Sitges where it was the “Festa Major” (The popular Yearly City Festival), in Spain it is traditional celebrate this Fiesta with Giants and “Caps Grossos” (Big Heads), mainly in Catalonia where additionaly there are the “correfocs”, literal translation would be “Running Fires”, people is dressed as demons with fires, I assist to these Fiestas at least from 1970 and never has been an accident, here I have selected 19 pictures, I hope you enjoy them. You can see them indivdually or pas to the follow with the arrow.

Some of you who have been here, I think in 2013 (Geoff, Alastair, Greg ….), has already saw this Fiesta in Sitges
