The day started with domestic chores – namely the washing, and whilst we had hoped Sunday would be a quiet day in the washroom, it wasn’t.

By lunchtime it had all been sorted and we headed down to the promendade. Here too in Benicassim one can still see the damage caused by storm Gloria.

The rootballs of these palm tress are exposed after the sand was washed away.

Here one can see that the clear-up operation has begun. Tons of sand cleared from the Promenade and there’s a rebuilding effort required on much of the seawall and boardwalk.

Late afternoon and it did rain a little at the campsite but the rainbows produced were exquisite. I mention plural because there were several concentric circles of rainbow light.

In the evening we headed into Benicassim for the start of the “Running Wildfire” parade. This lasted a whole hour and a half as the procession meandered it’s way through the streets.

I can’t imagine that this would pass Health and Safety in blighty.

Finally, a 15 minute firework display at the end of the parade which was truly magnificent. London would be proud of this at New Year and yet Benicassim is a town of just 18,000 inhabitants.

I’ll let the pictures tell the remainder of the story.

And finally the firework display itself – this small video wasn’t even from the best bits!
