Year 2018, Alicante. It is a very hot night. On the beach of San Juan there are bonfires. People sing, dance and are very happy. Also there are people jumping over the bonfires and burning old objects (in order) to welcome the summer. It's a really fun party and I really like it.

I'll be right with you...
