What to do at the San Juan festivities in Ibiza
The night of June 23 is when the San Juan festival is celebrated, a Catholic tradition that has roots in different cultures with the purpose of celebrating the summer solstice. The forms of celebration are diverse, coastal cities have the privilege of celebrating the arrival of summer on the seashore, with the great incentive of being able to cool off between one typical ritual and another. The songs, the dancing, the midnight baths, the popular dinners, the pyrotechnic shows and mainly the bonfires are part of the purification process that is also offered on the night of San Juan.
Do you know that wish list you have saved? It's time to use them! For all your wishes to come true, you must burn your list in one of the bonfires that you will find on the beach. If you like a little more excitement, dare to jump nine bonfires and in addition to helping your wishes come true, you will be purifying your spirit with the power of fire. Too much adventure? You can also jump nine waves and take a swim at midnight to achieve the same results.
