luminarias 2023
As every January 16, San Bartolomé de Pinares celebrates the festivities in honor of San Antonio Abad, patron saint of animals, better known as Las Luminarias festival. The festival consists of the propagation of large bonfires through which the 'bartolos' riders and other riders from surrounding towns cross the bonfires with their donkeys or horses in order to purify their beasts and for the saint to greet them and give them deprive of diseases throughout the year.
