Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Plenty garbage full of plastic bottles and bags littered on La Malagueta beach in Spain after San Juan festival 2024.
This Sunday one of the magical moments of summer took place. And the people of Malaga have their own rituals to celebrate it, such as dipping their feet at midnight, making a wish or watching the burning of the júa. Unfortunately, other traditions that have taken over this celebration are the tons of garbage that are collected the next morning.Â
La Malagueta has been one of the examples of how waste has once again covered the sand. Cleaning services are used extensively to return them to their natural state.
From Manilva in the west to Nerja in the east, all the Costa del Sol municipalities of Malaga province have celebrated the long-awaited arrival of summer.Â
Thousands of locals and tourists of all ages took the traditional midnight swim and celebrated around the purifying fire on the shortest night of the year.
The music and the traditional burning of the ‘júa’ on a bonfire are a great attraction, with a noticeably large group of people gathered to enjoy it. This was the case for Mariela and a number of friends of different nationalities.Â
They have been meeting on the night of San Juan for several years. They lay towels on the beach and enjoy some typical food from each other’s home countries. For Mariela, she is reminded of the festival in the countryside of her native Argentina, where dolls were stuffed and burnt.
