Correfoc with Diables de Sants in Barcelona

The Correfoc amb els Diables de Sants is the fiery climax of the Festa Major de la Bordeta, a neighbourhood celebration in Barcelona. On this evening, the Carrer de Constitució becomes a river of fire as the Diables de Sants lead a correfoc, a traditional Catalan event where devils dance among sparks and firecrackers. The route runs from Mossèn Amadeu Oller to the Rambla Badal and back, filling the streets with smoke, light, and the thunder of pyrotechnics.

This correfoc is part of a broader festival that brings the whole barri together. Earlier in the day, a craft and food fair lines the Rambla Badal, and the weekend features a cercavila with gegants (giants) from several neighbourhoods, a popular sardine dinner with live music and a DJ, and a piromusical, a firework display set to music, also performed by the Diables de Sants. The festival is organised by local community groups, reflecting the strong neighbourhood spirit of Sants-Montjuïc.

For visitors, the correfoc is a chance to experience a deeply rooted Catalan tradition in an authentic, local setting. It is a spectacle of fire and sound that draws crowds of all ages, and it is best enjoyed from a safe distance, following the instructions of the organisers and the colla de diables.
