Noche San Juan marks the start of the summer with barbecues and party s, fireworks and of course the dip in the sea at the stroke of midnight .
All along the beaches are hundreds of party goers and with tents of all sizes and beside the tents are table that the spread would be fit for a king not forgetting the generator that had been dragged all the way to the beach to power there music system which are quite impressive it was a sight to see.
My wife and my self decided to go to Burriana beach for this is where we got to last year and the atmosphere was brilliant with live music and free food. This year we found that it was not as busy as last year this I think was due to Noche San Juan landing on a Monday people having to get up for work in the morning ,so a lot of people celebrated on the Saturday. We stayed at Burriana beach until about 2.00 a.m by the time it was just the die hard revellers.
At the stroke of midnight there was an impressive fireworks display and a huge bonfire that was to symbolise burning Judis.
Also at the stroke of midnight it is customary to wash your sins off in the sea. That was a sight to see a lot of old people going in to the sea .
I waited until the mad rush had die down a bit in case I got trampled in the stampede. You cant beat a dip in the sea at midnight.
The whole feeling and atmosphere of the night is very friendly and relaxed with no fight
s or nuisance just everyone having fun young and old together. The next day all the beaches were spotless again.
