Experience Catalonia: Correfoc Fire Running Festival Experience from Barcelona

Summary Description

Climb aboard a luxurious vehicle in central Barcelona and venture to one of the local villages that pepper the Catalonian countryside. Gain insight into the origin of the correfocs festivals from your knowledgeable guide as you admire your sparkling surroundings by night; learn about how the Catalan tradition began in the 12th century, and how the flames and frivolity represent a fight between good and evil. 

Arrive in the village and be swept into the exuberant atmosphere created by street decorations and colorful costumes; admire the array of effigies and explore the village at leisure before the spectacular outdoor show begins. Awaken your senses to the pulsating rhythm of drums as the fabulous fireworks burst into action and locals dance amid a shower of sparks. 

Immerse yourself in the action and chase daring devils through the crowds, or admire the festivities from the sidelines. At a time pre-arranged with your guide, return to the minivan and reflect on your exuberant experience during the journey back to Barcelona.
