Alicante bans bonfires on beaches during the night of San Juan
The city will maintain the prohibition on lighting fires on the beaches during the traditional celebration of San Juan.
Alicante has confirmed that the city’s beaches will remain free of bonfires during the celebration of the night of San Juan, one of the most emblematic festivities of the summer calendar.
The measure represents the continuation of restrictions implemented in previous years, eliminating one of the most traditional elements of this magical celebration that marks the beginning of summer.
The ban affects all beaches in the municipality of Alicante, where traditionally thousands of people would gather to jump over the fire and bid farewell to the summer solstice with bonfires on the sand.
Local authorities are maintaining this decision as part of safety regulations and protection of the coastal environment during the festivities.
