Every year and always on 23rd June is held the Festival of San Juan. This is a traditional festival which starts in the late evening of the 23rd and goes on into the early hours of the 24th.
At the centre of the celebrations is a huge bonfire and this year a huge replica of an Egyptian temple was built on the Sabinillas beach a few days before and at around midnight it was set alight. A terrific fireworks display followed accompanied by music which built to a stunning finale.
It is customary to walk into the sea and walk out again leaving any bad luck behind you. This year was no exeception and the sea was filled with hundreds of people.
There followed live music and dancing which carried on into the early hours.
If you missed it this time make sure you put a note on your calendar for 2009 as it should not be missed.
