In the evening of June 23, the eve of San Xoán, coinciding with the summer solstice, when the sun is at its highest point, festivals and ritual practices have been held since ancient times in many parts of the world, mainly centred on bonfires. This is an ancestral event in which different cultures celebrate this solar phenomenon.
