Discover San Vicente del Raspeig’s most beloved festival by heading to the town’s streets and joining in the fun.

Every June, San Vicente del Raspeig makes way for its Fiestas de Hogueras y Barracas, Hogueras y Barracas Festival, which brings with it heaps of exciting events to this pretty town in Alicante. It’s a great time to visit and explore the area, which has so much to offer.

Hogueres are giant, decorated sculptures, designed to be set alight during the festival, and the barracas are areas set up on the street where locals can come together to have a good time. Places to hang out, live music, tasty food…it goes without saying that the atmosphere during the festival is buzzing!

Each town district announces its chosen Belleas del Foc - their festival queens, both women and girls - as well as the Courts of Honour, and exciting events get underway, such as la plantà - the sculpture set-up - the flower offering, parades and firecracker displays called mascletaes. Hogueras y Barracas Festival is nonstop action and entertainment!

Fire will take centre stage on the last night of the festival, with fireworks lighting up the sky and the hogueras finally set alight, resulting in large bonfires that pave the way for the new year.
