Traditional festival that takes place in Benisoda on the 3rd weekend of January. A raffle is held where the annual festive members of this party are and requirements are, be a man over 33 years old and registered with the municipality. The realization of this tradition consists in the burning of a bonfire. On Friday, the middle pine is cut, on Saturday morning a good barbecue lunch is held and then the pines are picked and cut until the lunch time, which is a giant paella. We continue to collect pines until 7 o'clock in the afternoon when the fire is lit by the oldest man in the municipality as tradition says. After, a dinner is done and later a festival is celebrated. On Sunday, in the morning the awakening of the neighbors is carried out by the festive members in order to go all together to have lunch, a traditional pericana followed by mass, christening of the animals, and distribution of a sweet muffin to the neighbors, one for each house. In the afternoon the festive members are collected with music and at the end the raffle is made again. To end the festivities, there are fireworks.
