Cottages are a good option to enjoy the Saint John's Eve. This festivity has always been a very celebrated day in Catalonia, and a great way to live this special day, where firecrackers and bonfires are the protagonists of the night, is to do it with family or friends. Celebrate this night in a cottage will make things much easier, as our cottages have large outdoor areas, most with barbecues and large spaces where you can gather and have a nice outside dinner.

Holiday cottages for Saint John's Eve, the best option for enjoying the festivity

Where Saint John's Eve tradition comes from?

Saint John's Eve has always been a very special night, where bonfires, firecrackers and suet pastry are the protagonists. But where does this tradition come from? The truth is that it has an uncertain date of when it started, and why is not also clear. There are stories that say it was a celebration of the summer solstice, also meant to scare away evil spirits with bonfires or even witches' night and the damnest night of the year. Even in the dictator's era an attempt was made to extinguish it, because it was considered a pagan holiday and was not proper for the people who practised Christianity.

Apart from all the stories and gossip passed on this day, today is still a family celebration where little ones and adults enjoy throwing firecrackers and lighting a good bonfire to celebrate the festivity by burning old furniture or pieces of furniture. wood that is no longer useful, you will also see many students burning their books from last year. Neighbourhood dinners are common in all the villages and towns of Girona region, especially in rural areas.

So if you have decided to stay in a country house for Saint John's Eve this year, remember to find out where each village celebrates its festivity, because it is worth enjoying these popular festivals.

Bridge with friends at Niu de l'Albera

We had a great time during the entire long weekend with friends at Niu de l'Albera. It has everything necessary to enjoy a few days of disconnection. I recommend it 100%.

MaiteCan Dalmau de Vila-Sacra - With the family

Comfort and design down to the smallest detail

The house is decorated with great taste, every detail is thought out, it is very comfortable, the common areas are very open and communicative, allowing you to share with the whole family. The lighting is a strong point, creating very welcoming environments. Even though the access is at street level, once inside you completely forget about it and it has the advantage of being very well located to visit all of Alt Empordà, a short distance from all the must-see destinations. A total success!.

CeliaCan Prat Rural - With friends

Experience of 10: comfort, cleanliness and tranquility

We've spent some wonderful days in this rural house. Everything was impeccably clean, with many details and a super complete equipment. The care put into every corner is noticeable. In addition, the children enjoyed a lot thanks to the wide variety of games for them, both outdoors in the garden and inside the house. Even though the owners live in a part of the lower floor, our stay was totally private. In summary, a 10 out of 10 experience. Highly recommended!.

CristinaCasa Samaria - With friends

House in the center of Pals, perfect for 8

Impeccable and very well-equipped house for a group of 8 people. It's just like the pictures. One minute away from the main street where there are shops (bakery, butcher, fruit shop) and services. We have been very comfortable at Casa Samaria! Next time we will return in summer to make more use of the outdoor space and the pool!.
