Sant Joan is the biggest Spanish public holiday….and the celebration was also pretty big!! Although the official holiday starts on 24^th June, the main part of the event starts already the night before, which is called the night of Saint John. There are always loads of parties organised for this special night and this year was no different!! Apart from many concerts and big parties in the clubs, the most popular are the beach parties. The whole area of the Barcelona beaches (which in fact is 5km!) was packed with people, music, alcohol, fun and fireworks. Everyone celebrates in their own way – some people are sitting, drinking, talking, some other are dancing, some throwing bangers and lightening the fireworks up. I decided to have a proper beach party this year so I went to a big one, organised at the Forum beach, literally speaking at the very end of Barcelona. And it was amazing!! Seriously, one of the best parties I’ve ever been to! Bare feet dancing on the sand to a great music…..what a wonderful feeling!! I never lived in a city that has a beach so these sorts of parties always seem extraordinary to me! The view of the sea with millions of fireworks in the sky plus a bunch of good friends, who make the whole party, really gave me some unforgettable memories. If you can’t stand noise, it migthn’t be the best party for you though… Bangers and fireworks were blowing up during the whole night and some of the most persistent music fans kept on till 5 o’clock in the morning! But if you like partying, good music and a beach atmosphere, the Sant Joan celebration is definitely for you!! If you plan on coming to Barcelona in June 2011, don’t forget about San Joan celebrations and be prepared for 23/24^th big party! Well…I guess I have nothing more to say, but see you next year?
