SPECTACULAR: Elche’s August fiestas feature the famous fireworks.
Extra days partying ELCHE City Council has granted permission to extend the number of permitted days to install bars in the streets during the August fiestas. However, the concession for a total of four days - one more than last year - comes with the proviso and understanding that the noise levels must be monitored and controlled. Locals and visitors alike will be able to take part in the nightlife over the weekend of August 11 and 12, in addition to the two traditionally busier days of August 13 and 14 that include the iconic Nit de l’Alba firework spectacular.
Part of the new requirements announced by Councillor Carlos Sanchez will see venues wishing to play music to present a noise report before the fiestas start. They will then be granted a certificate, endorsed by an engineer that their equipment will be complete with a decibel level monitor and it’s in fully working order. The new orders have already been passed on to the bar and venue owners and it’s not been received with the best of grace. However, they’ve accepted they need to comply with the guidelines in order to alleviate complaints from residents.
