A party who is experienced with great intensity throughout the country and has some authentic ingredients such as holidays. Fire flame Canigou is the most ancient, concerts, orchestras and festivals are an festive, traditional herbal eat the cake and champagne pork rinds or nuts are essential companions, and crackers and bonfires are fire, symbolic of the long-awaited day.

Bonfires of Saint John illuminate each of the towns, villages and cities around the country and around the beaches and squares of various towns along the Costa Dorada. In Salou, for example, lit three fires as a result of beach. The mysticism of the Canigou Flame unites the whole, a strong tradition in the fire. Another obsession of San Juan, more modern, it is the passion for fireworks. A night in which thousands of rockets and firecrackers are lit, giving light, color and smell of gunpowder in the shortest night of the year.

We must alert and we caution against the destructive force of fire and fireworks to be finished in the traditional festival. In addition to the fire, another symbol of Saint John water.
