The Bonfires of Saint John (Spanish: Hogueras de San Juan, Valencian: Fogueres de Sant Joan)[1] are a traditional and popular festival celebrated in the city of Alicante, Spain, from 19 to 24 June.[2] The celebration ultimately stems from a tradition of bonfires for Saint John's Eve that can be found in many places, among them the Mediterranean coast of Spain, especially Catalonia and the Valencian Community; in Alicante, it's the official and most important festivity in the city. It was officially declared as a Fiesta of International Tourist Interest[3] in 1983 and a Bien de Interés Cultural in 2014.[4]
