Excellent photo. only to say that correfocs also use fire blowed. It's one of the most amazing show of our culture that anyone can see. Another one among others are "Castells" or 'Human Towers'

postscript: Catalans are proud of our culture and traditions, and as a pacific nation, we allways congratulate to wellcome to everyone who wants to visit our country
