Alicante is already in Hogueras 2024! The capital of Alicante is experiencing the big days of its festivities with an extraordinary atmosphere, good weather and dozens and dozens of bonfires in all its neighbourhoods. Strolling around Alicante these days is like strolling through a city devoted to its fiesta, a city where it is possible to enjoy music, bonfires and gunpowder. The programme of events of the Hogueras de Alicante 2024 is very complete and extensive, although if in NUWE If we had to highlight something, we would choose the mascletaes in Luceros, the two days of Ofrenda and the very special night of the day of the Cremà - a large palm tree marks the beginning of the end, the moment when the flames devour everything that has been done during the year to make way for the next exercise.
With all the bonfires planted as of this Friday, Alicante takes to the streets to admire the work of the artisans. The juries will decide each prize and in the afternoon the stars of the bullfighting world will be present at the Alicante Bonfires Bullfighting Fair 2024as the farewell to Enrique Ponce. If there is one particularity in Hogueras, it is that the fireworks are not set off on the nights of the fiesta, but rather as an epilogue, programmed for the five nights after San Juan.
Consult the entire programme of events for Alicante Bonfires 2024 and don't miss any of the events. Let yourself be immersed in this unique festival with which we welcome the summer.
