Bonfires of San Juan Vallehermoso
“So much excitement. I've been sleepless for two months because I'm waiting for that day, for San Juan to arrive. I live it.”
“It's the only town on the island that has the most deeply rooted tradition of the San Juan bonfires.”
“When you light the bonfires and see all your work and say it was worth it because you see it lit, illuminating San Juan's path.”
“You have to come; if you don't come, you won't see it. You can watch it on TV, on your phone, but if you don't come, you won't experience it. Everyone who has come, returns.”
“For all the people of Vallehermoso, San Juan is something special, especially because of the bonfires.”
“San Juan is never left unilluminated in La Ladera.”
“San Juan is more than anything about unity, it's about neighborly unity, it's family, it's love. It's carrying the tradition in your blood from the moment you're born.”
“The town looks beautiful. People who come tell you that this is amazing, that they've never seen anything like it. It fills you with pride to know that you're from a town where something unique is done.”
“As soon as we finished lighting it, we were thinking, with so much excitement, about what to do next year.”
“From the moment the saint leaves the Church until he arrives at the square, where we light our bonfire, we count every second.”
