Okay — we admit it. We spoke way too soon when announcing that Sueca-Literato Azorín was “obviously” going to win the annual Lights competition.
We hadn’t yet seen Cuba-Literato Azorín’s lights in all their glory! When we saw them the first time, they were only half-lit, and unimpressive. But when they’re totally on… woah. Check out the pics.
So, Sueca has a legitimate competitor this year! And it could be close — Sueca’s are probably more audacious, but there’s something special about Cuba’s. They’re easier to stare at… and just might pull out the victory. Sorry for jumping the gun! Enjoy the pics… and get down to Ruzafa to enjoy these incredible displays!
