“Celebrating the arrival of summer is one of the largest annual festivals in Spain.The Night of San Juan (also referred to as the Bonfires of San Juan) is another solstice tradition based around fire, and is held on the eve of 23 June. Legend has it that the bonfires burned on this night help cure skin diseases and purify the body and soul.

Water also plays an important role in San Juan rituals. According to tradition, people take a plunge into the ocean at midnight in order to wash away any evil spirits.”
