The Bonfires currently maintain their traditional date of celebration, although pending the evolution of the pandemic and the Health protocols They do not rule out postponing their celebration to another time summer, or later.
It will be something that will also have to be coordinated with the table that organizes the Fallas, so that it can be celebrated both parties are sufficiently separated, but the important thing, said in Hoy por Hoy Alicante Manolo Jiménez, the Alicante Town Council Party councilor, is that the monuments “can go out into the street and that the illusion is not lost.”
To do this, he explained, they will speak with all the parties and sectors involved, now organized in the newly created Party Coordinating Table that will take care of all possible festive events, “to dissolve the great uncertainty of the sector and generate that illusion,” he says, at a table that has the presence of three medical professionals and in which they are also invited to participate in the own Generalitat.
The Fallas have been raised for the period from July 3 to 18 and depending on the restrictions and the distancing that is marked with the Bonfires, an eventual alternative date to June 24 will be specified for them. “There is a lot of summer ahead,” says Jiménez.
And is that another issue that worries, says Jiménez, is the concentration in the second half of all event forecasting, something that can complicate things for suppliers and hoteliers, and therefore asks for caution and that the Generalitat can participate within that festive roadmap.
The mayor maintains the same caution regarding other celebrations such as the Easter week, or the pilgrimage of Santa Faz, marked April 15, not yet suspended. It will be necessary to adapt inevitably as well, but it is yet to be seen how, he acknowledges. And remember that the de-escalation will be imminent from March 1, and see the measures that are being taken.
