Night of San Juan 2024 on the beaches of Torrevieja
The night of San Juan 2024 will be celebrated in Torrevieja with the traditional bonfires on the beach.
On the eve of the night of San Juan, hundreds of people gather on the beaches of Torrevieja to celebrate a purifying ritual that consists of lighting a bonfire in the sand of Torrevieja beach and jump on it, in order to get rid of everything bad that has happened to us during the year.
Afterwards, the ceremony ends by putting your feet in the water for a short time to receive the full force of the sea.
On which beaches in Torrevieja is the night of San Juan celebrated with bonfires?
- La Mata Beach
- el cura beach
- Los Locos Beach
- Beach of the Castaways
Usually, the City Council distributes about 15,000 kilos of pine wood (which leaves hardly any waste) for people who want to make bonfires on each of the city’s beaches.
Where is the wood collected?
Firewood distribution points:
– Los Náufragos beach (at the entrance to the Poniente pier)
– Los Locos Beach (downtown area)
– Playa del Cura (northern area)
– Playa de La Mata (next to the pumping station), on Avenida de los Europeos, next to the lifeguard post and, in La Mata village, in front of the Plaza de Encarnación Puchol.
Access to the beaches of Torrevieja, will be controlled by the security forces, to prevent the use of wood that can leave hazardous waste in the sand.
On the night of Sunday, June 23, at 11:30 p.m., a fireworks display accompanied by music (pyromusical show) is usually fired from the natural pools of the Juan Aparicio promenade in Torrevieja.
On Monday, June 24 at 01:00 a.m., the 2 bonfires installed on San Jose Street on the corner of Joaquín Chapaprieta Street will be cremated. (see map).
