June

On June 21st, summer begins: the heat and good weather arrive. The fields turn yellow. The wheat is already ready for harvest. Butterflies fly across the meadows, and swallows build their nests.
Summer is the season for fruit. There is plenty of it, and it’s very tasty, like cherries, loquats, plums, watermelon, melon, apricots, peaches, raspberries, and blackberries.
In June, we celebrate Saint John. The night of June 23rd is the bonfire night, the most magical night of the year. Fireworks are set off, bonfires are lit, and the typical coca with pork cracklings or candied fruits is eaten.
