Pozo Negro is a small fishing settlement on Fuerteventura's east coast, and on St John's Eve it does something you won't see elsewhere on the island. Local artist Suso Montañez spends weeks turning recycled cardboard and wood into a vast "pez-diablo", a devil-fish wired with lights and sound. Get there early and you can pose with it at the photocall and scribble a wish onto one of its white scales before the night really kicks off.
The whole thing leans on old Majorero solstice customs: burning away the year's bad luck and starting fresh. For safety the fish goes up in cold fire and sparklers rather than a roaring blaze, and there are displays explaining what it all means. It falls on 23 June, it's free, and you're standing on the shore while the sea does the talking. Bring a jacket for the breeze off the water.
