As in previous years and along with thousand´s of others, we celebrated the fiesta of San Juan (St. John the Baptist) by heading down to a local beach. Most people arrive fully equipped with friends, family, firewood, swimwear, tables, chairs and picnics that resemble royal banquets. Add to this the combination of live music on a vast stage, a firework display, bonfires on the beach (that for some reason best known to themselves, young men insist on jumping through - OK some not so young i.e. me above!) and at midnight a traditional swim in the sea, then what you've got is a great night out and one that normally carries on into the early hours - thoroughly recommended if ever you get the chance!
