The challenge this week is to share a photo that contains all the colours of the rainbow (or an actual rainbow).
If I am honest, I could not have asked for a better theme this week as today marks the start of the annual Hogueras (Bonfires) Festival in Alicante. The Bonfires of San Juan is a spectacularly colourful event where the people of Alicante, and its surrounding areas, take to the streets in droves in order to ring in the summer in the only way they know how – with a party.
Las Hogueras is a celebration of music, colour, art, fireworks and extravagance which, to give them credit, only Spanish people can pull off with such class! So, with all that said and done, it´s time for this week´s theme: the colours of the rainbow. Here is my take on the challenge, I hope you enjoy!
So, there you have it, my colourful entry into the weekly challenge this week. If you liked it, and would like to see some more,click here to be brought to the challenge page.

I was in Alicante last year at about the same time and we walked into the Festival, but we had no idea what it was until later on. We had a really good time and your photos show just how great it was 🙂

What a treat to have walked into! It´s even better if you´re not expecting to find it! I originally walked into it myself about five years ago and have made sure to go back every year. Hope you´ve had a great Sunday! 🙂
