Cremà on the 24th June: Celebration of Nativity Saint John The Baptism.

Hello everyone,
"La cremà" is the act of setting fire to the "Fogueres" (Show art monuments) in Alicante, Sant Joan d'Alacant and other places.

These monuments are burnt every 24th June, after St. John's Eve to celebrate the Nativity of Saint John Baptism. This monument was burnt in Sant Joan d'Alacant, Alicante, Spain.
It's called "Nit d la cremà", night of burning.





There's also a funny part called "La banyà", soaking while firefighters put out the blazes.
Attendees ask firefighters to throw water on them to alleviate with the heat.
