LOCATION: Barcelona, Spain

"Sant Joan festival in Spain marks the start of the summer. This is is the midsummer solstice celebration, which is the day that has the longest period of daylight in the year (not to be confused with the "equinox" days, which are the days when the day and night are of equal length. The equinoxes occurs twice a year usually in March and September.) The Nit de Sant Joan celebrations in Spain and Barcelona are in the evening on 23rd June. The next day is 24th June, which is Saint John’s day and this is a public holiday in Catalonia and Spain. The Sant Joan festivals and fiestas are from sunset on 23/6 to sunrise on 24/6 on the eve of Saint John’s day. The Sant Joan festival is often called “La Nit de Sant Joan” - the night of Saint John.  The fiestas are also called “verbenas” or “revetllas,” which means open-air fiestas or celebrations. Midsummer is originally a pagan holiday, but in Christianity it is associated with the birth of John the Baptist, who was born 6 months before Christ on 24th June, which explains the name Sant Joan.” - www.barcelonayellow.com

Rare is the moment when you cross off an item off your bucketlist…the very same time it earns its place on there. A group of strangers, turned friends…to own the night…as if it was ours to claim. And it was.”
