<p><span>Saint John’s Eve, known in Catalan as “</span><a href="../../../../../life-style/item/sant-joan-catalonia-s-nocturnal-festival-of-fire-and-food"><span><strong>la revetlla de Sant Joan</strong></span></a><span><strong>”</strong>, is an event celebrated on the night of June 23 and long into the early hours of June 24. To celebrate the shortest day of the year, people traditionally flock to Catalonia’s beaches to celebrate the year’s biggest nocturnal festival of bonfires, food and fireworks.</span></p>
<p>Despite the pandemic, this year, with <a href="../../../../../culture/item/sant-joan-2021-how-to-enjoy-the-festivity-despite-the-pandemic">beaches open</a>, fireworks sales high and plenty of 'coques' to be seen in bakeries throughout Catalonia, Sant Joan should <span>vastly resemble traditional nights from pre-pandemic times.</span></p> / Scarlett Reiners and Xènia Palau
