The burning always takes place at midnight on the 24th and kicks off at the Town Hall square, which is literally packed with thousands of people shouting and singing.

This is all good traditional fiesta fun and tourists will always have the most wonderful experience when partying out in Alicante on San Juan night. I would recommend staying in a hotel or hostel for the week, although if you are staying close by the Tram via has an all night service.
