Every year in January in the Spanish village of San Bartolomé de Pinares, located 100 km from Madrid, is a traditional celebration in honor of St. Anthony - the patron saint of animals. The night before the Day of St. Anthony, which falls on 17 January, there is the most colorful part of the celebration - the riders gallop on horseback through the flaming bonfires to purge the animals.
