Scarves in the air and some tears in the farewell to San Lorenzo – Heraldo.es

“Goodbye San Lorenzo, goodbye” was sung on Monday night with more emotion than ever, if possible, to say goodbye to the most anticipated parties. “The rocks are already here, we also feel that today the party is coming to an end” sang the people from Huesca in the midst of a tide of green scarves raised above their heads. The square was packed. There was not room for a pin in front of the basilica or in the surrounding streets: the accesses from the Coso, San Lorenzo street or San Orencio street… No one wanted to miss the moment of singing the Laurentian anthem created in 1989 by Darío Esparza and Ángel Orús, which was accompanied by some tears. “I raise my scarf to the four winds, my body is tired, the end has come. I sing with a broken voice because at your party my throat and my soul I wanted to give you,” continues the lyrics, which a part of the attendees only dared to hum Higher sounded the chorus, repeated several times with emotion. The appointment was at 11:30 p.m. and the rocks were punctual. They did not make the saint wait, whose bust appeared at the doors of the church to be able to say goodbye to him until 2023. There were only a few minutes left before the final fireworks in the Plaza de Navarra officially said goodbye to these festivities with the wish of that there will never again be a parenthesis like those of 2020 and 2021. The race had to go to the nearby Plaza de Navarra to attend the pyrotechnic show. There thousands of people had gathered around the fountain of the Ninfas. It was twelve o’clock at night when the first rockets exploded. The fireworks launched from behind the Casino lasted less than 10 minutes before giving way to the final fireworks and with it the definitive farewell.
