Les Hogueres de Sant Joan (Alacant) start around June 19 and end on the 24. Lots of partying, lots of partying, and then some more partying. www.fogueres.net
The 24th of June is midsommer in Sweden and Norway.
Feria de agosto de Malaga: 13-22: again, another party, only this one has a fair complete with rides and discotechs. Great flamenco performances if you know where to look, the food is excellent and cheap, it is hot as hell, but since you sleep all day, it does not matter.
