The Night of Saint John

For years now, the tradition on this special night is that people go to the beaches of Mallorca to welcome the summer and celebrate the magic night of  Saint John (Sant Joan). A series of rituals are staged, which, according to the legend, give luck all throughout the year to the people that perform them. One of them is the traditional jumping over small bonfires.
