San Juan Bautista is Tenerife’s midsummer festival and bonfire night Friday 23 June

[Janet]

The bomberos here say that they had 200 calls last night to go out to deal with some bonfire issue or another ... thankfully none were serious, but that 200 is after a government warning ...

I guess it's a case of "I built my ruddy great bonfire and no little Franco's going to tell me I can't set light to it  ... " ...
