One of the traditional events of the festivities in honor of Sant Antoni is the Cremà del Pi. A Valencian festive tradition whose origin is attributed to the agricultural society's veneration of saints to achieve good harvests and fertility of their animals. This celebration is in charge of the El Tirasset Equestrian Club of Xàbia.

Transfer of the Pine
The act of the Cremà is accompanied by another, the transfer of the pine tree. An activity that takes place in the morning. The transfer of the pine tree is a symbolic act, since the structure that is actually burned is usually already installed and prepared. In this celebration, pack animals move the pine tree from the vicinity of the Plaza de la Constitución to the area known as El Ravalet (Calle San Antonio).
