Santa Susana Fiestas Spanish towns & cities are famous for their festivals (or fiestas) & Santa Susana is no exception. There are plenty of events throughout the town calendar, see below for some of the most popular:-
A popular event is the Fiesta de San Juan (feast of St. John) on the 23rd of June. The fiesta originates from pagan tradition, though given Christian sanction, & is essentially a celebration of the midsummer solstice. Bonfires are erected on the beach, accompanied by much music, singing, & dancing. Drink flows & food is widely available. Events culminate with raucous fireworks, though in reality (as the 24th is a public holiday) the party goes on pretty much all night. The 11th of August sees the town begin the Fiesta Major (main festival) celebrations. As with every Spanish town & city it begins this on their patron saints day; that of St. Susan. Events vary from dance groups, orchestras, bicycle tours, children's games, parades, & of course lots of food, wine, & dancing. Festivities take place at many of the towns main squares, gardens & gathering places. The fiesta culminates on the 15th of August with a day for the youth of the town, this coincides with Assumption Day. September 11th commemorates the Catalan defeat at the hands of the Spanish army of Castile in 1714. From this day on Catalan rights & laws were abolished, & the fiesta is seen as a re-vindication of this event.
Precise dates cannot be given for the above festivities due to the ever changing fiesta calendar. The best advice we can give for those planning their holiday at fiesta time is to contact the Santa Susana tourist office. Santa Susana Tourist Information Town Hall +34 937 678 441 /51
