Part 2/8:
This fascinating holiday, deeply rooted in both pagan and Christian traditions, celebrates the summer solstice and the birthday of St. John the Baptist. Viewers of Tasting History were introduced to this special event thanks to a Patreon patron named Juan Capdet, who hails from Catalonia. The beauty of Sant Joan lies not only in its customs, but also in the shared experience of enjoying Coca de Sant Joan, a delightful baked good that various villages and bakers have put their own spin on over the years.
