CORREFOC - BARCELONA -

#catalunya #barcelona #correfoc
Correfoc is a festive tradition in Catalonia involving devils, fireworks and music. You might know it from La Mercè festival in Barcelona or other folk festivals in Catalonia.
This film was shot during the 25th anniversary of the "Diables de Les Corts" squad on June 1st 2019.
The event took place in the streets of the neighbourhood of Les Corts in Barcelona from Plaça Comas to Plaça de la Concòrdia.
25 Devils squads (colles) gathered to join the celebration:
Els Bocs de Can Rosés
La Repúbli-k de l'Avern
Diables i Timbalers d'Itaca
Les Gàrgoles de Foc de Banyoles
Diables d'en Pere Botero de Salt
Los Voliaks d'Oliana
Bufons del foc de Badalona
Ball de Diables de Tarragona
Ball Diables Reus
Diables Montgat
Diables De Santa Oliva
Diables de Terrassa
Ball de Diables de Sabadell
Diables del Poble Sec
Diables de Granollers
Diables de Sant Cugat del Vallès
Diables del Clot
Diables de Sants
Diabòlica de Gràcia
Diablesses i Diables de Sarrià
Grup Torxa Malignes del Guinardó
Diables i Diablesses De La Barceloneta
Diables de l'Esquerra Infernal
La Satànica de Sant Andreu
Diables de Les Corts
Tabalers de Les Corts
We love and enjoy watching and participating in local traditions like this, and we want to show to the world this special one:
Jordi grew up in Les Corts for many years couldn't attent a Correfoc in Catalonia.
This was a special occasion and we were so happy to be there and proud of being part of the festival joining the devils and the drummers.
We hope you to spread the knowledge and love for local traditions like this one, not very popular but so fun and interesting.

[@PogiboyProductions]

Oooh so festive!! All those lights and dancing.. what a unique tradition!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thanks! We hope you got an idea of this unique tradition! Maybe some day you can experience a correfoc in person!

[@feedmeimei]

Freaking beautiful. I'm in love with how clear and crisp the shots are. It seriously translates the liveliness so well 😍

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

It was well worth to shoot in 4K at 60fps!! Catches all the sparks and the colors really nicely! Thanks for watching!

[@mariaandbryan]

Guys great job with the video. You captured the energy of all the participants and awesome visuals.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you so much! It took time to put together...all that footage in 4k at 60fps...the laptop was saying "kill meeee!"

[@MsMinglifestyle]

Wow!!! This is sooo cool! It’s so pretty there!!! And very informative too!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you!! If it entertains and informs, we've accomplished our mission with this video! :) We wish someday you can experience a correfoc in person!

[@nickandhelmi]

12:20 madness epic 🙌🙆‍♀️ woaa crazy!!! So sharp love 4k and 60fps wow 😮

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Yeeeessss! Hell on Earth! Dance with the devils! 😈🔥 Thanks!!

[@therighteousandlovingfamil3791]

Woh that looks crazy what a vibe! Fantastic editing my friends keep it up😊

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you for watching and commenting! We hope to spread the knowledge for this incredible and unique local tradition!

[@mariaandbryan]

Love the dynamic of this video. The music and the camera moves makes it really good

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you! The gimbal helped a lot I guess!

[@feedmeimei]

All the fireworks are so amazing. It must've been such a life-changing experience to witness this in person!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

I (Jordi) grew up with this tradition. But this was first time for Hyekyong, and yeah, it was quite a shocking experience witnessing it in person!! Thanks for watching!

[@GastonMarotta]

Parece troya eso !! jaja , esas fiestas están muy buenas , ahora a final de mes las hacen aquí en el pueblo que vivo también jeje, saludos amigos , nice video and great edition👍😉

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Gracias Gaston! Hahaha sí, Troya infernal! Sí, ahora en verano hay muchos correfocs. ¿En qué pueblo vives? A finales de septiembre hay el de Las fiestas de La Mercè en Barcelona, algo gordo gordo!!

[@TheRecipeJournal]

Wow this looks absolutely amazing! Never heard about it before. Love your editing and music with this. So cool. Drums, fireworks, fire. Lots of going on. Definitely fun to watch

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, correfocs are intense! So many emotions! Exciting, scary...

[@ketchupnpie]

Oh wow!! This is eye opening for me. I may have never known but I'm glad now I know because I'm here!! 💕 Your filming and editing are spot on. Love love love it! ❤️

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you so much! That was our goal with this video! To make this unique and local tradition more known in foreign countries!

[@PogiboyProductions]

Love the edits.. felt like I was watching with you guys.. you guys captured everything so well..

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you so much!! It's a bit scary to be close to all those sparks...

[@FoodandFootprints]

Oh man absolutely loved Barcelona! This looks incredible

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

We wish you could experience one in person!!

[@FoodandFootprints]

Lifetime Travelmates Gonna have to plan for it!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

We hope we can be your host&guide!

[@FoodandFootprints]

Lifetime Travelmates That would be amazing! Definitely want to be there when you guys are. Can taste the orxata already 😋

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

@@FoodandFootprints hmm I miss orxata too!

[@thetravellinghobitt]

Such an amazing vibe out there! This is what you call a fiesta! The fireworks are awesome too! Wow! Those different fireworks just covers the whole site with vibrant colours! I bet is very popular with the tourist and locals! Thank you for sharing 👍🏼😊🤗

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you, guys! Actually it wasn't until recently that foreigners knew about it. It is a very local festivity, and it doesn't get much tourist or foreign attention. But we thought it deserved some explanation since youtube offers this no-barriers thing, right? We can learn so much about local traditions and cultures on youtube!

[@AnSEpisodes]

woww the festival looks soo fun! ^^ your shots are amazing! remind us a bit of "The Greatest Showman" movie ^^

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you! oh! we still haven't watch that movie! we'll try to watch it soon!

[@JaniceFung]

and i have to say - thanks for capturing all this so well! i can see above everyones heads :D must've been tiring holding it up steady for so long...

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you Janice! The gimbal helped, I guess!

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Stunning festivities, amazing fireworks and music, great atmosphere! Loved your filming and editing, very good indeed...thanks for sharing👍👍👍💕

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you very much guys! It is visually and acoustically amazing! And in person it's even more exciting! Your body vibrating with the drums and the fireworks, the fear and awe of watching the sparks... We wish you can experience a correfoc in person some day!

[@Rubster760]

Wow awesome video my friends. This was very intense 😳👍. Your newest video is also great. I was not able to leave you a comment. Good luck and best wishes on your travels.😊❤️.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you very much! Our newest? You mean Kodaikanal video?

[@VagabondCulture]

*Thanks so much for sharing dear friends. I really enjoyed Barcelona, very great video friend, thanks for the upload!*

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you for watching and commenting!!

[@feedmeimei]

Omg this is so epic!!! Love the intro!!!!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

HJahaha! Yes! EPIC is the word we thought too!

[@PeterandYen]

Ooooo this footage is so cinematic. Crispy and the way you've put this together makes us really feel like we're there. 4k is so nice 😍 the fire slinging and fireworks are timed so well with the music!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you guys! We wish you could see that in person! Your chest vibrating with the drums, the smoke in the air...it's very exciting!

[@AlliandWill]

What an incredible experience and presentation! wow! I was there a few years back, but missed this by a few weeks I guess! Had no idea about it

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thanks for watching. The whole point of this video was bringing this unique festival tradition to people. Let them know about it and try to make them feel in a correfoc. Glad you liked it!

[@Dee-Ann_Louise]

Thank you for not doing another premiere... it makes it so much easier to save your video to my watch later playlist and be able to watch. I have lists of people that I watch and only them. I only have one wifi in my home too... CheerZ, luvs. Full view on ads and the video. Smashed the like button, always.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thanks! What do you think of the whole festival? ;)

[@Dee-Ann_Louise]

@@LifetimeTravelmates honestly, their fire dances fascinated me. And the information you two provide is great! It was a beautiful upload. And I watched all 30 minutes of ads as well.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

@@Dee-Ann_Louise thank you so much!🥰😍

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

What an epic last dance. That’s a ton of people. Looks like an episode of a Medieval drama. Mesmerizing to watch. That star looking guy, awesome! We would’ve had a blast there with you guys!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

hahaha an episode of a medieval drama...you mean GoT 8x04 ? Well, at least this one had more brightness!! 😂 The star-guy was a kinda new feature. They usually release "beasts" like dragons, devil-goats and other fierceful creatures spitting fire and all... Thank you for watching and commenting always!! 😍

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

That’s some intense and well coordinated choreography. It reminds us of Las Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián in Puerto Rico with all the percussion groups.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thanks! Yeah, the squads have many days and hours of rehearsals! It's fun to watch the whole thing together!

[@puXerda]

Molt bo!! Un 25e aniversari brutal!! Increïble l' atmosfera q vam viure i respirar allí dins!😉

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Sí! Volíem dedicar-hi in video com cal! Llarga vida als correfocs! #fembarri #correfoc #diablesdelescorts !

[@FoodandFootprints]

Love the scene starting from 11:40 - those colors!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

It's like hell on earth! Epic!

[@HyunRalphJeong]

Fireworks are so incredibly mesmerizing

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Nice word to describe it, yeah! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@gunnertravel]

that is epic, i love to go to a festival like this, so uplifting

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Yeah! You don't see things like that in Singapore, eh? 😁 Correfoc is one if the traditions that makes me proud of my land and customs!

[@TheLaughingLion]

Fuego and dance in 4k. awesome guys!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Yes! Hell on Earth! Dance with the devils! Thanks for watching!

[@SantosChronicles]

That cinematic opening sequence was off the charts. That night to day transition with the fireworks 💥 was really cool. In my neighborhood they banned Sparklers and these guys are holding fireworks. Video really pumped me up while watching. Great filming style since regular vlogging would have been hard with all that noise. Great job.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you guys! Yeah, no need for vlogging on that case, we had the idea of the pop up infos since the beginning :) glad you like it. we gotta say it's a controlled festival, supported by the city council and all. no way those guys could go free firing that on their own!

[@SantosChronicles]

Lifetime Travelmates What amazing experience. The pop ups were great. Always enjoy watching.

[@mariaandbryan]

Lieles is really enjoying the notes. I have shared with him a lot of the dictator times and the more he sees and learns the more he understands Im sure a lot of people will love and appreciate all this info PS he also says we always have excuses to make a holiday or a festivity 😂

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

I felt the duty to research and write some insight about the whole thing. This unique tradition deserves international attention and recognition!! Hahaha, yes, we do have always excuses! Thank you, guys!

[@Alvicatchannel]

Nice video! I knew about this and have also witnessed when I lived in Barcelona some time ago.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Oh! We didn't know you lived there! It's quite an interesting tradition, right? Thanks for watching!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Beautiful night footage guys. Didn’t know about this celebration but looks awesome. I can see why they’re covered head to toe.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thanks! Yes, Catalonia has some very unique traditions. Correfocs are held specially in summer festivals, but you can find them almost all year around in many towns around.

[@TripJodi]

Amazing vlog 😍😍 loved it

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you so much, guys!

[@DowntheWrabbitHole]

Ben Chavez told me about this festival - or maybe one similar to it - that I featured in my Halloween video. So cool that you were able to attend something like this in person! :)

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Yeah, as a native from Barcelona, I (Jordi) grew up with this. But after many years living in A.Korea it was the first time in many years, and with Hyekyong. It was great! Thanks for watching!

[@FoodandFootprints]

And then the grand finale in the main square!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Quite an epic ending!! Loved it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Can’t believe you guys shot this using mobile phone only! Amazing quality! 👍🏻👍🏻 We haven’t been to Barcelona, it looks awesome. Heard great things about it, hope we can visit someday 😊

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Some phones nowadays perform amazingly! Phone and gimbal! Whenever you decide to go, feel free to ask me! #localsknowbetter #butlivedabroadforthelast10years 😅

[@khelmorales]

Scene 12:00 is OMG!!!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you so much Michael! That's exactly the reaction we hoped! Please, support us by sharing this video with your friends and family. We'd love the world to know about this local unique tradition! And make everybody say OMG!! Thanks for your support!!

[@mariaandbryan]

Oh my god look at those fireworks!! They are awesome !! Of course the fireworks remind me of les falles de Valencia.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thanks! They are the ones from my neighbourhood!! Orgullós del meu barri!!! Oh si! Fallas on fire!

[@CommunityToursAustralia]

Fantastic performance

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Thank you! They train and do lots of rehearsals! It's so magic to experience one of these correfocs! And summer is specially packed with so many happening around the whole country of Catalonia!
