Each year Sant Joa n celebrated in Spain, also in Barcelona. This festival is celebrated with fire, fireworks, concerts and dances and is certainly one of the largest festivals in Catalonia. This festival should you missed.
Every year on 24 June Sant Joan instead. The festival is held each year in the night of 23 to 24 June, the night of the summer solstice instead. The so-called Nit de Sant Joan , the shortest time of year, then the beginning of summer is celebrated. From midnight on old furniture is collected on the beach in order to Ignite the great fire. This is symbolic of the burning of the winter. A tradition for example, is the fact that you write their wishes on a piece of paper and then in this Flame-throwing. Then you have to jump three times in the air.
Coca de Sant Juan is a typical dish which is eaten on this day along with Cava and is available in most bakeries. Coca is a simple sugar cake, which can be with butter cream, with pine nuts, fruit, chocolate, or just filled with sugar.
However, one should miss this show under any circumstances. No matter where you are located in Barcelona is widely celebrated. Particularly many parties on the beach instead
So get going! Those who stay at home is your fault! :)
