Every year, the arrival of summer brings with it one of the most popular and awaited festivities in Barcelona: the Sant Joan festival.
On this occasion, the beaches will be filled with people eager to welcome the warmest season of the year.
However, not only the coasts will witness the celebration, as each neighborhood of the city has prepared its own festivities, bonfires and festivities.
All in order to enjoy the shortest night of the year under a starry sky full of light, fire and color.
Also, if you are not a fan of firecrackers, you don’t have to worry, as Barcelona offers alternatives such as workshops, activities and other ways to join this tradition.
And of course, you can’t forget to prepare or buy the delicious “cocas de Sant Joan” to round off the party.
