Sant Pere

Photos and footage ©S.-Xaali O'Reilly. Well, same as everything on my channel, apart from the music.

Fotografies dels focs artificials per Sant Pere (a Sant Pere de Ribes) amb una mica de video i com dues fotos dels gegants XD (Em vaig aixecar massa tard per pillar el drac i els dimonis, etc.)

Photographs of the fireworks for the Feast of Saint Peter -- or however you're meant to phrase that in English -- in Sant Pere de Ribes.
Explanation: In Catalunya most towns and even neighbourhoods have a patron saint (or a couple) which they celebrate on a certain day, although there are often events throughout the week leading to or following it. The usual shebang includes fireworks and parades of traditional dances (with the traditional music) and people dressed as devils with spinning sticks that shoot out sparks, a dragon and an eagle that do the same (it's sort of pyromaniac country here XD), giants and what are called "capgrossos" (which means "big heads", or tadpoles, but that's only because tadpoles are just little squirts with big heads XD), ...etc. I'm sure I've missed something out or messed something up, but oh well.
Anyway.

The photos and video are of the fireworks the night before and there's a bit of the dancers and the giants from the morning parade thing. I didn't get any photos of the demons or anything, because when they passed by my house I hadn't got up yet.
