Fiesta Fireworks in Hondón
Posted by admin in Hondon Leisure, Hondon Tourism on 01/08/2010
With the summer fiestas in full swing now there’s lots of excuses for firework displays – and they don’t get much more mad, bad and dangerous than the ‘CorreFocs’ in Hondon de las Nieves. This annual ritual follows the Medieval Market of food and fun. The Correfocs is a display of loud music and running fireworks through the village streets breaks all the Health & Safety rules… “stand well back after lighting the touch paper” is for wimps !!!
Take a look at a recent video of the 2010 Correfocs ! MADNESS but fantastic to watch…

Wim Kuyps has posted quite a few fiesta and Hondón related videos on YouTube, including “Dance Shool in Hondon” and Medieval Market.

Semana Santa – Holy Week
Posted by admin in Hondon News, Hondon Tourism on 02/04/2010
Across Spain, Easter Time is a special time of celebration known to Spaniards as “Semana Santa”. Most villages, towns and cities have lavish fiestas, parades and celebrations – all are welcome!.
Alicante (About 25 minutes from Hondon Valley) has an enormous event with 10′s of thousands attending. The streets are lined with people to watch the processions of the ‘brotherhoods’, bands, dancing and religious ceremonies – some very solemn!
They say the best view for Alicante is on the hill of the castle over-looking the coast road / marina.

Hondon de los Frailes is the neighbouring village to Nieves… about 5 minutes drive, was the scene of an unusual accident recently involving a fuel tanker collapsing THROUGH a road / buried sceptic tank.
Thankfully no-one was hurt and a lot of people were scratching their heads !!!
As seen on “La Verdad TV”:
“Propane gas leak from a truck in Hondon de los Frailes. The tanker discharging the fluid in the area of a restaurant. The propane leak has been declared of type 3, (quite serious) under the Special Dangerous Goods of the Generalitat Act.”
