Thousands of people celebrated the night of San Juan on the Valencian beaches. Fire, music and fun served to welcome the summer solstice in a celebration in which close to 100,000 people participated in the city of Valencia alone, according to municipal estimates.
Fortunately, the night on the beaches of Cap i Casal, both in the north and in the south, closed with a balance of a hundred people treated by the Red Cross, although none of them seriously. Of course, municipal sources explain that eight of those treated by the health services were evacuated, one of them due to burns and three due to alcohol poisoning.
For its part, the Local Police, which had more than 300 agents mobilized last night, has registered five brawls throughout the night, although none of them had any consequences and items and food products that were sold illegally on the beaches have been confiscated.
Thus, the councilor for the Citizen Security area of the Valencia City Council, Jesús Carbonell, who visited the security device yesterday for San Juan, has assured this morning that "we can say that it has been one of the most crowded nights of San Juan and that Despite this high influx, we can describe it as a quiet night with a low incidence”.

As for the fine-tuning of the beaches this morning, it was carried out somewhat late due to the large influx of people, but they are already in perfect condition to receive the arrival of the bathers. The councilor responsible for the Waste area, Carlos Mundina, has highlighted “the perfect coordination of the municipal cleaning services and the quick set-up of the beaches this morning. Thousands of kilos of garbage have been removed in record time thanks to the reinforcement of the 176 workers who have participated, an increase of 14% compared to last year”.
