The shortest night of the year is the most celebrated on the Almería coast. Bonfires along the shore from 10pm, music and the tradition of jumping the flames to cleanse the year ahead. In Vera Playa there's no central organisation: it unfolds family by family, street by street, bar by bar. Bring something to burn.
