Couldn't find statistics from 1955 that quick, but graph below shows some numbers for earlier 1970-ties.

Fuegos del Apostol Santiago dC 2015

The annual celebration festivities Fuegos del Apostol in Santiago de Compostela are usually a week of music, film, fireworks, cultural programmes and other entertainment and attractions.

July 24 and 25 are the main days. Perhaps you saw earlier great presentations on the facade of the cathedral.

In 2015 this wall presentation concentrated on the other side of the Plaza do Obradoiro.

The gothic facade of the cathedral pyrotechnically rebuilded.
