VISIT OF SITGES IN JUNE 2003

Every year on June 24 is the celebration of "Sant Joan" in Catalonia. It has a religious tradition. During our stay in Sitges we enjoyed these festivities.

Highlight of this celebration is the making of flower carpets the night before. They are made of grass, flowers, coffeebeans, etc. The people start making it at midnight so that early in the morning all the streets are covered by these wonderful flower carpets.
