Midsummer's eve, or the Nit de Sant Joan (St John's Eve), as the night of 23 June is called in Catalonia, is a magic night of old traditions. It is celebrated everywhere in Girona.
Fire and music are the most important. These traditional festivities go on in the streets of the towns and cities, people eat the tradicitional st.John coca (a sponge cake made with custard and crystallised fruit) and they dance all night until the early hours of the morning. They also let off fireworks.
In Catalonia you can spend midsummer eve in any town or village in the various counties of Girona province, from the costa Brava to the Pyrenees.
In my opinion I think that it is very amusing. When it is St.John I always go to Empuriabrava to the beach with my friends. At the beach there is a party with fireworks.
Everyboody is very happy and people swim in the sea. Fireworks are quite dangerous, but when it is the festival it is very beautiful.
