Sardinada de San Juan. My birthday (June 23rd) falls on the summer solstice, which coincides with the D�a de San Juan in Spain. Somewhat like Halloween (except with less fancy dress and no witches, ghosts and pumpkins). People have bonfires and let off fireworks and bangers all night long and have outdoor parties. In Catalunya the tradition is to drink cava (like champagne) and eat coca (a type of pastry). We had our own Festa de San Joan on Mar�a's rooftop terrace, complete with barbequed sardines!!!
