Controversy in Luceros over terraces during Hogueras mascletás
Controversy has arisen in Alicante's Luceros square over the use of hospitality terraces during the Hogueras mascletás.
Alicante’s Luceros square finds itself at the centre of a controversy relating to hospitality establishment terraces during the Hogueras mascletás.
The controversy stems from the use of these spaces during one of the most emblematic events of the Alicante festivities, which attract thousands of people each day.
The mascletás, daytime pyrotechnic displays held at midday, are one of the main attractions of the Hogueras de San Juan. The occupation of terraces in a prime location such as Luceros has generated debate amongst traders, attendees and local authorities.
The situation reflects the tension between commercial exploitation of public space and citizens’ free access to enjoy festive traditions in the heart of the city.
