Political correctness, hyper liberlism, influx of European Union and many more issues have unfortunately destroyed our once amazing nation of friendliness,helpfulness and warm approach to everyone
Yes we do the same in Spain, people jump over the bonfire, walk over ashes or throw old stuff to the fire to make space for the new. We take moonlit sea bathes as well. It's an interesting tradition because it seems like an "end of year" thing when it really is in the Summer. I guess solstices and equinoxes were really highlighted by ancient populations.
Those were the god days, I have been told that you are not allowed to light bonfires at the crossroads anymore, Many years ago, after my brother was ordained a priest, he returned back to visit our home in Ireland and for the last several miles of his journey home, large bonfire was lit along the route, people holding up forks and burning sods of turf standing along the road as he passed by, what a most beautiful welcome home that was, For over 40 years my brother has worked with some of the poorest people in the world, helping to dig water wells, build storage tanks to collect rainwater, building hospitals, schools, teaching trades and given hope and skills to forgotten people..

I am a Spaniard and I know, otherwise there is no explanation for the rites.
