Every year from 20th to 29th June smells of delicious food and sounds of music, dancing and laughter fill the air when Alicante celebrates Hogueras de San Juan, a popular Spanish festival. Also known as Bonfires of Saint John, the festival is observed by many Spanish cities, but it is particularly very important in Alicante.
