“June 23rd is celebrated in Barcelona as the night of Sant Joan, one of the shortest nights of the year… One of the biggest traditions is the fireworks display held by diables (devils) from local towns.”

Thanks Ben! Yes, César is right, they do celebrate the 23rd all over Spain…it’s interesting to see how each area’s celebration is different. Anyone have pictures from other parts of Spain?
