The bonfires of Saint John

From June 17 to 25, the La Cala neighborhood comes alive with one of the most beloved festivals of the year: the Bonfires of San Juan. A magical celebration of fire, summer, and community spirit — full of tradition, emotion, and joy.

🎆 JUNE 17–25: SAN JUAN IN LA CALA

children's bonfire with sweets and pets, and adult bonfire with fantasy castle

For nine days, the streets are filled with parades, communal dinners, music, mascletàs (daytime fireworks), children’s games and the spectacular cremà, when the monuments are set ablaze in a symbolic farewell to the past. In 2025, we celebrate the 45th anniversary of the La Cala Bonfire — a very special year!

This year’s celebrations are led by:
✨ Nerea Cerrato Casado, 2025 Children’s Queen of the Fire
