The night of San Juan might be the shortest night of the year, but Malaga's beaches once again managed to accumulate tonnes of rubbish following the celebrations on Tuesday.

Thousands of locals and visitors, entire families, university students and groups of friends eager to party and have a good time spent the night by the sea to welcome summer.

From Manilva to Nerja, the entire Costa del Sol burned the bad away to greet the good into the early hours of the morning. The only drawback is the state in which people leave beaches in the aftermath.
