Two people received burn injuries during the night of San Juan on a beach in Salobreña.
The Almuñécar fire service, backed by Infoca assets, were busy towards the end of last month putting out a hill fire in the Cuesta Cordobilla/ Cantalobos above La Herradura.
The Costa Tropical seems to be going through a spate of cars on fire, especially Salobreña, where yesterday another two went up.
The residents of the Almuñécar district of Torecuevas will be celebrating their VII Cultural Coexistence Fiesta this evening. It’s really an extension of the Fiesta de la Candelaria (Candlestick Party), also known as the Night of the Lights.
While Salobreña started their San Juan fiesta yesterday – it’s the patron saint there – Almuñécar and La Herradura start theirs tonight.
A 59-year-old foreign resident (nationality not given) has been charged a forest fire in Llanos de Bayácar in the municipality of Órgiva.
San Juan is a youngster’s festival – if you’re in your late teens or twenties, on the beach is a must on the night of San Juan. But it’s not exclusively theirs, because it is also the night for whole families. Childhood memories are always full of this magic night of towering bonfires and partying. Admittedly, parents of kids up to around eight will probably go home soon after the main bonfire is light at midnight, rather than spending the night camped out, but the rest stay, to witness dawn before finally crashing out.
