There are usually San Juan ' bonfire' celebrations in Torrevieja and Guardamar but the times may vary slightly - If anyone has any further details of these, please let us know here?

The San Juan 'Bonfires' (Hogueras) Fiesta is tonight in Torrevieja ( 24th June). The Burning (La Cremà), is the culmination of the 'Summer Solstice' festival, which is at midnight.

The celebrations start at 8pm with a children's fiesta and various other events, including a town BBQ, gift-giving and music, up until the main celebration of the bonfires around the town and beach at midnight.

By all accounts it is a spectacular evening and the fire service is there to keep everyone safe. Apparently it can get a bit wet with the fireman dousing the fires with their hoses but that's all part of the fun!

Here's the brochure from the Torrevieja town hall, which shows the list of events for the 24th June 2014 :
