Revelers burn flares as they take part in the Patum in the Catalan village of Berga, Spain on Friday, May 27, 2016. The festival’s origin can be traced to medieval festivities during Corpus Christi. It consists of a series of dances by townspeople dressed as mystical and symbolical figures accompanied by the rhythm of a drum. One of the protagonist of La Patum is the fire, and the climax of the festival is the Salt de Plens (Fire Demons), who set the square on fire with hundreds of firecrackers burning at the same time.
