From a Spanish tourism site, describing the Candelaria celebration:
A primeros de septiembre se celebra...la fiesta de la Candelaria, con el ritual de fuego como protagonista absoluto, si bien aquí las hogueras, que también se encienden en el pueblo, reciben el nombre de "PATACOS".
(Quotes in original. I feel some kind of parenthetical insertion is needed to give some idea of why the bonfires are called "patacos" and I don't have a clue.)
