We moved to Barcelona from Ontario, Canada in August of 2013. Living and traveling in Spain with 4 kids is not without its challenges, but well worth the extra effort. This blog is a record of the neat things we have seen and done here. I hope that it can also be a resource to other families living or traveling through Spain and Europe.
Well, there really is no word in English for correfoc because it's something very particular to Catalunya. The kids love watching the people parade in the streets setting off correfoc during local festivals. Saturday May 16th was the Correfoc de Primavera en Esplugues. This is a great local celebration for no specific reason, just an opportunity to stay up late, get sprayed with millions of sparks and listen to loud music.
Here are a couple of pictures that we took of the correfoc infantil (for kids) and then a couple of videos of the correfoc adulto (much more intense)! In the last video, we are standing in what we consider a safe distance, about 15 metres away from the main action, but you will see that really no one is spared from receiving a shower of sparks on their heads.
