San Juan Fiesta in Oliva
The San Juan Festival takes place in June and this really is a must if you are visiting Spain at this time. The night of 23 June is the most important and on this one night the whole town visits the beach year where rules are relaxed and you can have a bonfire and BBQ on the beach, play music, dance and watch the fireworks.
The celebrations of San Juan are pagan in origin and comprise a degree of rituals, customs and practices that are originally from pre-Christian celebrations and encompass fire, water and sun. The night of San Juan on the 23 June celebrates the triumph of light over dark. It is said that on this one night of the year you can change a bad year into a good year by leaping over your bonfire on the beach at least three times. It is also said that the bonfires lit on this night can cure diseases of the skin and cleanse the body and soul. The beach is packed with people enjoying the atmosphere and there is always a live band performing and at midnight a huge firework display explodes!
At this point everyone gets up and walks into the sea to make their wishes for the year and flowers are thrown into the waves to give thanks for the coming summer.
