Chupinazo launches kick off festivals in Arguedas and Estella, Spain

In the town of Arguedas, the traditional chupinazo rocket was fired to mark the opening of the "días grades" celebrations, drawing enthusiastic crowds.

Later, in nearby Estella, the same ceremonial rocket signaled the start of festivities, after which dozens of young people jumped into the River Ega on inflatable floats to enjoy a sunny river descent, a long‑standing local tradition.
