Official Hoguera 2026 Faces Criticism: 'It's the Same Every Year'
Pedro Espadero's ninots for the 2026 Official Hoguera spark divided opinions amongst the Alicante public.
The presentation of Pedro Espadero’s ‘Singulares’ ninots for the 2026 Official Hoguera at the Hogueras de San Juan has provoked criticism from sections of the Alicante public, who feel the design lacks novelty.
According to opinions gathered, some residents express disappointment at what they perceive as a lack of innovation in the artistic proposal, stating that ‘it’s the same every year’.
Espadero’s ninots have failed to impress all sectors of the community, though the Hogueras de San Juan remain one of the most anticipated festivals in the province.
The controversy surrounding the design of the official hogueres is a recurring debate that repeats itself each year around Alicante’s patron saint festivities.
