Nothing better than to
start the summer by celebrating the
solstice of this time of year on the beach, with a good bonfire of Sant Joan and a party that combines tradition and "revetlles". If you are looking for this complete pack, come to Salou and enjoy a magical weekend.
The
beaches of Salou, especially Llevant, are filled with groups of friends and family prepared with everything necessary to celebrate the
arrival of summer and the festival of Sant Joan on the beach.
As the tradition marks, on June 23 the Canigó Flame will arrive in Salou with which the bonfires of Sant Joan will be lit. The heir to Salou and the heir to Salou will travel to the tourist train, accompanied by the Moto Club Barenys association. Together they will carry the flame through several streets to the Jaume I promenade next to the Espigó del Moll, where the "correfoc" will begin at 8.15 p.m. with the Diables Maleïts, the Bruixes Latemó, the Xaloc and the Bruna de Salou, festive elements of fire that will take the "Flama del Canigó" to the Comunitats Autònomes square.
At 9 p.m., the "correfoc" will reach the Comunitats Autònomes square.The message of Sant Joan will be read and the sardana "Salou Ciutat Pubilla" will be danced. Then, the peveter will be lit on the Levante beach, next to the Comunitats Autònomes square, and there will be a pyrotechnic show. Whoever wishes can write a wish and put it inside the peveter, as a ritual to be fulfilled in the following months.
At 10.30 pm the bonfire will be lit, and family festival in the Pau square with the Duo Tropikal orchestra.
For its part, in the Comunitats Autònomes square, there will also be a great popular festival, with the La Fania orchestra, from 11 p.m.
If from midnight you choose to swim in the sea as a ritual so that luck accompanies you during the next 12 months, enjoy your night bath with caution.
