The "nit dels focs de Sant Joan" festival in Xàbia was a massive event, drawing thousands of people who participated in traditional rituals. The first to jump over the bonfires were the 'quintos' from "A trompicons", marking the start of one of the most popular festive events in the Marina Alta region.
Participants followed the ritual, carrying a "vidriella" crown and a handful of "faves seques" (dried broad beans). At the final bonfire, dedicated to old belongings, they threw the crown and made a wish, creating a night described as magical.
For those who extended the celebration, the night concluded with a refreshing dip in the sea.
