Other events: San Juan bonfires
On the night of 23 to 24 June, local groups light bonfires after sunset. Joaldunak accompany the fires with their cowbells and the fanfare brings music to the streets; young people and adults gather to jump over the bonfires and cook chistorra over the embers, maintaining a community celebration linked to the summer solstice.
