Cremá de las Hogueras 2024 Hoguera Molinos Del Calvario

www.xplorefilm.es We stumbled upon this festival our first year living here. We thought what a cool old neighborhood, back then we lived in Los Locos a more touristy side of town.
We heard they would do some type of event at 1am. When we arrived at midnight the streets were full of tables and families. The streets are narrow and we had no idea what was going to happen.
The firefighters began hosing down the buildings and then, Boom. They blew up the sculpture.
Fastforward 6 years later we now live in this neighborhood (Barrio Molinos).
This years theme is Anti-Vox. Vox is a right wing political party (much like our Republican party back in the States) that is well known for making bigoted anti LGBTQ rights statements and pushing those policies. The neighborhood this year decided to blow them up. I Love Spain. I Love Torrevieja.
