We were far away, but it was terrifying! XD

Discover what it's like to experience the Nit de l'Albà in Elche, a tradition marked by fire and dangerous handcrafted firework carts.
In this video, we explore the Nit de l'Albà from the inside to understand what motivates participants to face the risk of burns year after year. We analyze the origin of these Elche festivities and the intensity with which veterans handle the carts, a practice that requires years of experience and extreme courage in the face of pyrotechnics.
If you're interested in popular culture and the dangerous traditions that define our identity, here you'll see the raw reality of this spectacle. We explore the unique atmosphere of the Elche fireworks and the effort behind each rocket launched during this magical night in the city.
