The night of San Juan, which takes place at dawn from June 23 to 24, is presented every year as a great festive evening in many parts of the Spanish geography.
In coastal beach areas, bonfires and their purification rituals take shape to theoretically share each other’s negative energies.
Although it is true that this festival, as stated in the Bible, represents the date of birth of Saint John the Baptist, although for many others it has a pagan origin of worship to the Sun.
The day of San Juan is not a holiday in all of Spain, but it is in some Autonomous Communities. In this case, June 24 in 2023 falls on a Saturday, although it will affect the work calendar.
The communities where June 24 is a holiday are: the Valencian Community and Catalonia.
In addition, the day of San Juan is a local holiday in the city of Albacete.
To enjoy the next national holiday, you have to wait until August 15, the day of the Virgin of the Assumption, which will take place on a Tuesday. However, on July 25, two days after the general elections on July 23, it will be a holiday in Galicia, Madrid, the Basque Country and Navarra.
