Sant Joan night!

Sant Joan night is a festival celebrated principally in Spain, in English this festival, or a festival that is similar, is called Midsummer. The day when this festival is celebrated is on the 23rd of June and the 24th.
This festival symbolizes the summer arrival, and the 23rd night is the shortest night of the year.
The most important thing in this Spanish -and principally Catalan- festival is to have dinner with the family, maybe in the beach and if possible ignite a bonfire; and also eat a kind of cake called Coca de Sant Joan, which is very typical of Catalonia.
This is a night related with the fire, and because of it, this festival is also called the fire’s night.

I celebrate this festival with my friends in the Empuriabrava’s beach, where there are a lot of people, and all of our friends go there on Sant Joan. Then, there are also fireworks, which are very amazing and completely fantastic.
I think that Empuriabrava is a very nice place to celebrate Sant Joan, because the beach, which is very big, it’s full of people that want to enjoy with the sea, and also swim on the sea. Last year, my friends and I swam, the water was too cold (it was three o’clock of the dawn) but we think that it wasn’t important and we entered in the water.
Last year it was very good, and I enjoyed a lot, I look forward the next Sant Joan night, and I hope that it’ll be as last year, or if possible, better!
