VIDEO: Locals ride horses through fires as Spanish festival makes comeback

Las Luminarias celebrates Spainº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s patron saint of animals

The streets of Spanish village San Bartolome de Pinares were filled with smoke Sunday (Jan. 16), the glow of burning wood and the clatter of trotting hooves in celebrating an annual festival.

Known as Las Luminarias, the festival celebrates Saint Anthony, Spainº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s patron saint of animals.

It was cancelled last year because of COVID-19 restrictions.
