I went to the beach where the big Hogueras de San Juan (Bonfires of St. John) took place. This celebration, or festival dates back to pre-Christian times and marks the arrival of summer solstice, the longest day of the year. This celebration takes place from June 20-June 29. It is celebrated in many costal towns including Alicante (the biggest celebration) Velencia and Barcelona. Jumping in the sea at midnight is supposed to wash away the evil spirits and gain fortune and eternal beauty. Well here are pics of the hotel room and the beach
