So this time of the year has come again “San Juan” a celebration held on the beach, surrounded by friends and loved ones, with candles, drink, food and bonfires, a night that welcomes the summer season . Spain is known for their love of festivals, any excuse for a get together on the beach and today is not an exception.
A superstitious night of fire and water, fire purifies and water recuperates, refreshes and rejuvenates. Getting in the sea at midnight is a tradition, a way to wash away evil spirits, if you want to have luck for the next 12 months we suggest:
1- Jumping over a bonfire.
2-Burning a piece of paper with your lovers name on it.
3-Burning something old and personal to leave behind bad spirits from the past and start from scratch.
4-Swimming in the ocean after midnight washes away all the evil spirits and the water becomes healing.
