Dimonis and Devils in Palma: The Correfoc Between Tradition and Everyday Concerns

Answer

What is the Correfoc in Palma and why is it such a big part of Sant Sebastià?

The Correfoc is a traditional fire procession in Palma where dimonis and devils move through the streets with sparks, drums and a lot of noise. It usually marks the finale of the Sant Sebastià celebrations and is one of the city’s best-known winter traditions. At the same time, it also affects daily life because streets are closed and public transport is diverted.
