San Juan’s Night

Every 21st June, locals in El Toyo get together by the waterfront and celebrate the official start of summer by lighting a bonfire. They believe it helps to give the sun power for the next few months. The blaze is usually paired up with live music shows and beach parties. If fireworks are more your thing, Almeria’s castle is the setting for a colourful display at the stroke of midnight.
