Info
Another characteristic that makes it unique is that it is an artistic bonfire, designed by renowned sculptors, constituting one of the most authentic examples of land-art that can be found in Asturias.
At the same time as the bonfire is being held, other cultural activities take place in parallel, such as the traditional bowering of the fountains, folk music performances, workshops and seminars on mythology, ethnographic conferences and a great deal of Celtic and Asturian culture.
This artistic bonfire, more than twenty-five years old, adds a touch of authenticity and flavour to the start of summer in Asturias.
