Festa des pa i es peix

It is one of the most beloved celebrations within the calendar of Saint’s days in San Joan. It is also known as Quart Diumenge, because it is held the fourth Sunday of Lent and its tradition dates back to the 16^th century. It consists of a procession on foot to the church of Mare de Déu de la Consolació, at the top of the hill.

According to legend, this is the place where a muslin Shepherd found an image of the virgin, which gave origin to the adoration. The coquetes and the casques, pastries based on flour and water, are typical of this celebration.
