15th October is (usually) the key date but Huercal-Overa do not normally issue permits until after the Feria.  If I remember correctly last year permits were not issued until November as it had been so dry.  However, if you are over the border in Murcia then the rules appear to be more relaxed

In Murcia If one lives near a rambla or in the midst of scrubland then bonfires, other than those totally contained, are a no go at anytime of year .
If however one lives surrounded by ploughed fields then bonfires start beginning of September.
Not sure if expats have to have a licence but this certainly doesn't extend to the farmers.

Thanks all. Being in the middle of nowhere and in Murcia we  use one of our mine tunnels. So am.going to pop into the local GC office and ask. They know us & where we live.
Thanks again,
Bob and Sandra
