San Bartolome de Pinares, Spain. 16th Jan, 2018. A woman rides a horse through a bonfire during the traditional ritual in honor of Saint Anthony the Abbot, patron saint of domestic animals. This tradition known as "Las Luminarias", hundreds of years old, is meant to purify the animals with the smoke of the bonfires and protect them for the year to come. San Bartolome de Pinares, Spain.
