Each year Alicante has firework displays for 7 nights after the “Fougeres of Sant Joan.” We try to take part and watch the fireworks from different locations in the city.

The first night we watched the fireworks offshore on a sailboat.

The views from the Mediterranean Sea were excellent. We had unobstructed views of the entire fireworks.

The second fireworks we watched was from our terrance which provided a good view with the Castillo de Santa Barbara as a backdrop.

The final time we watched the fireworks this year was from a 21 storey high rooftop terrance near the beach.  Thousands of people head to the beach area to watch the fireworks. It is truly an amazing place to see them. The lights reflect off the water and make a spectacular show.

The fire works are launched from a small point of beach. From the terrace we could see the launch area.

We enjoyed watching the fireworks which last approximately 20 minutes.  The twenty-one storey high terrace provided us with a spectacular location to watch the fireworks.

The pictures do not convey just how spectacular the fireworks were. Some of the fireworks were very creative with designs including happy faces, peace signs and other different patterns.

We put a short video below of just some of the fireworks.
