Salobrena Fiestas Spanish towns & cities are famous for their festivals (fiestas), & Salobrena is no exception. There are many fiestas throughout its calendar, some larger than others. Here we list some of the more popular fiestas to look out for:-   Easter week is celebrated in a bigger way in Andalucia than in the rest of the country. Neighbouring towns compete with one another in terms of the size & grandeur of events. Festivities in Salobrena take the obvious religious undertones, but with processions & floats (some carrying effigies), others flowers, & much more. Another popular fiesta is "Las Hogueras de San Juan" (Bonfires/Feast of St. John) on the 24th-29th of June. Bonfires are lit on the beachfront & huge papier-mâché effigies are burnt upon them accompanied by fireworks. The tradition is to dip your feet in the sea just after midnight (for good luck). This is a fun festival with lots of eating, drinking & dancing. Be prepared to stay up late.  On July 16th local sailors honour their patroness La Virgen del Carmen. An effigy of the patroness is first paraded through the town streets & then out at sea aboard a flower laden boat; often trailed by a flotilla of fishing boats. The evening culminates with much dancing & singing, as well as the customary fireworks.   Precise dates cannot be given for many of the above festivities due to ever changing dates.
