It goes without saying that all are invited to come and join in the fun, and for those living or staying at the beaches of Mojácar rather than in the town there is an all-night bus service taking revellers back down the hill on the nights of 26^th, 27^th, 28^th and 29^th August. A measure of how seriously the partying is taken is that the last bus sets out at 6.15 in the morning!

Each ride on this service costs 1.20 euros before midnight and 2 euros after midnight.
