Alicante is so underrated until you see the Hogueras de San Juan Festival - Festival Season 2026

I dived into one of Spain's most explosive celebrations — Las Hogueras de San Juan in Alicante! From towering satirical monuments, parades to fireworks lighting up the Mediterranean sky, this captures the heart and soul of a street festival that turns an entire city into a stage of fire, music, and tradition. 💥 0:17: Mascletà firework in Plaza del Ayuntamiento 🛍️ 04:01: Wandering the old town (El Barrio) with its colorful streets and lively bars 🏰 11:41: Santa Bárbara Castle for panoramic views of the city 14:58: Concatedral de San Nicolás church and parades 🔥 17:46: The unforgettable Cremà — where the giant monuments go up in flames! 🎆 20:05: Nightly firework shows over the Explanada and the Mediterranean Sea Alicante during Hogueras is pure sensory overload — the smell of gunpowder, the sound of firecrackers, and a city dancing between tradition and celebration. Whether you're planning your own trip or just want to experience the magic from home, I hope this video gives you a real taste of what makes this festival so special. 📍 Locations featured: Explanada de España, Santa Bárbara Castle, Playa del Postiguet, Plaza del Ayuntamiento, El Barrio (Old Town), Central Market 👍 If you enjoyed this trip, hit like and subscribe for more travel adventures across Spain! #alicante #HouguerasDeSanJuan #spain #travelvlog #firefestival #spaintravel #VisitAlicante #costablanca Second Nature by Anders Baldwin, Brady Hoffman, Luke Barker, Alice Shelton is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
