Artificial Fire / Fuegos Artificiales

THE SPANISH TERM for "fireworks" is "fuegos articiales" (artificial fire). It's only taken me seven-plus years here in Spain for it to finally sink in. But even in my density, I have enjoyed every display. Here's Sunday's as seen from a park not far from the fair grounds.

SOLO ME HA llevado más de siete años aquí en España recordar finalmente que "fuegos articiales" es el término para los "fireworks" ingleses. Pero incluso en mi densidad, he disfrutado cada espectáculo. Aquí está el espectácula del domingo como se ve desde un parque no lejos del recinto ferial.

  3. Thanks for sharing the wonderful photos. Fireworks are always our favorite event to do when we go down to the beach on the holiday weekends here in the US. Spain really has some beautiful scenery and hope to visit there one day. Hope if was a fabulous show. Have a great day.

    1. Animals,
      Great show. But our beach fireworks in summer are even better.

    1. Bob,
      It’s in the Bible. Luke 127:7-14... I think.

  6. If my experience is anything to go by, then maybe the fireworks are to celebrate the end of her virginity?

  8. French is similar: feu d'artifice. Our little town has a modest display every July 14. We can hear them from the bedroom window and, if we lean out, can barely make them out in the distance through the treetops.

    2. Walt the Fourth,
      Thanks! I started off with the “fireworks setting”; colors looked vivid but the focus was awful. So I switched to manual and was much happier. Truer color, too.
