The sale and distribution of alcoholic drinks is prohibited after 10pm in places that are not authorised for on-site consumption.

The town hall recommends the use of utensils and plastic cups and, above all appeals to the responsibility of the participants so that, once the celebration is over, they leave the area they have occupied clean, avoiding the accumulation of waste.

"The aim of this bylaw is to preserve one of our most popular and beloved traditions, guaranteeing safety and respect for the public space that we all share. With the cooperation of the citizens, we will ensure that La Noche de San Juan is experienced with joy, coexistence and respect," said the mayor.
