The Embroidered Drac de Mataró Correfoc Scarf is one of the essential items for experiencing the Les Santes correfoc safely. The scarf protects your face from sparks and helps you breathe much more easily during the correfoc. Made from thick 100% cotton fabric with the Drac design sublimated onto polyester and embroidered to guarantee proper adhesion and long-lasting durability. Made entirely in Catalonia.

Why do you need a correfoc scarf?

The correfoc scarf is essential protection for anyone who wants to take part in the Les Santes correfoc. It protects the face and airways from sparks, dust and smoke. 100% high-weight cotton is the ideal material because it does not melt with heat, unlike synthetic fabrics.

Who is el Drac de Mataró?

El Drac de Mataró is a fierce yet friendly figure, with a calm fire formed by eight fixed fire points that allow people to jump and dance very close to the figure. It also has a special mechanism that lets it breathe fire from its mouth. It celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2021, a milestone that Robafaves marked with the creation of its official correfoc cape.

Frequently asked questions

Why must the scarf be 100% cotton?
High-weight 100% cotton is the ideal material for the correfoc because it resists sparks without melting. Synthetic fabrics such as polyester can melt with heat and cause serious burns to the skin.

How should the scarf be worn at the correfoc?
It should cover the mouth and nose to protect the airways from sparks, dust and smoke. It is recommended to combine it with a wide-brimmed hat covering the whole head.

Is the Drac embroidery long-lasting?
Yes. The design is sublimated onto polyester and embroidered to guarantee proper adhesion to the fabric and long-lasting durability.

Where is it made?
Made entirely in Catalonia.
