Sant Joan in Spain is the midsummer solstice celebration marking the start of the summer season and the day with the longest period of daylight in the year. In Spain and Catalonia the Sant Joan celebrations are on the evening of the 23rd June.

Experts know that there isn't one rice cooked the same way as another always different from restaurant to restaurant. In the Costa Brava it's very typical to eat rice with fish as in paella, although there are many other recipes and what a better chance to try them than during these gastronomical days in Lloret de Mar which last until the end of May.

Once again it's time for the VII Rally Costa Brava Històric, an event which has become one of the most important in the classic car scene in Europe. Pre-start March 7th and rally from March 11th to 14th.

The month of June is starting with high temperatures, a warm and pleasant weather. After the abundant rains of April, Spring is gifting us with gorgeous blumes of flowers everywhere.

This week Girona is the centre of the Flower Festival universe with concerts (mainly outdoors) and art exhibitions as well as most shops having some flowers in their displays which makes it a fun place to walk around for a few hours.

Well, another flower festival is here, or better said another "Temps de Flors." Girona looks splendid at this time of year and, excepting the crowds, is a truly delightful place to wander around taking in the small patios, chapels, street installation art and public buildings.
