Although sadness, to the song of ‘poor me’, reigns in Pamplona on the last day of Sanfermines, the cachirulo will serve today, Sunday, October 15, as an improvised handkerchief to dry the occasional tear, and that is because The Pilar 2023 festivities end in Zaragoza.
8 days of uninterrupted festivities have crowned the Pilar festivities in which in the different scenarios-the Plaza del Pilar, the Ebro Food Festival, the Espacio Zity and the Príncipe Felipe Pavilionamong others – the atmosphere typical of some great days in the Aragonese capital has been breathed.
But the joy does not have to decline, because in the program there are still varied activities until reaching that final climax with the launch of fireworks and final fireworks at 10:30 p.m. in the Macanaz park, on the banks of the Ebro River.
From the Puente del Pilar you can see this pyrotechnic spectacle that envelops the sky of Zaragoza and makes the towers of the Basilica del Pilar vibrate. The lights of the fires mark the end, but they also open the counter. And the countdown for the 2024 Pilar Festival to begin will begin.
