The Alicante Bullring is the setting for the election of Bellea del Foc 2026, the highest representative of the Hogueras, in a gala that gathers nearly 7,000 attendees.

This Saturday, starting at 9 PM, the Alicante Bullring becomes the center of the festivities with the gala for the election of Bellea del Foc 2026 and her maids of honor. Nearly 7,000 people witness this event, one of the most anticipated in the festive calendar, following the election of the Bellea del Foc infantil 2026.
After the emotions experienced on Friday with the children's election, this Saturday's gala will culminate with the name of the new representative, who will succeed the previous Bellea del Foc. The night includes the parade of the 79 aspirants in their evening gowns, after an initial dance. The candidates are received with cheers from the festival-goers.

"It is the most beautiful festival because we have the most beautiful women."

The gala, titled Únicos, features the presentation by Jéssica Clavel, José Iborra, and Ana Ballester, and the participation of 180 people in the dance troupe. One of the surprises of the night was the appearance of the Bellea del Foc 2025 and her court of honor to kick off the event.
Among the attendees is the Minister of Education, Carmen Ortí. The new representatives will have a busy schedule for Sunday, which includes an appointment with the official stylist, their first press conference, and a traditional visit to the Carolinas Altas bonfire.
