Saint John´s night


In my town, Porto, this is the most festive night of the year. Many thousands come out to celebrate Summer in the streets, with bonfires and fireworks all around.
Some say it's a rare example of a peaceful mob gathering without violence to exchange regards, vows, wishes and teasers...St. John also protects young lovers, so many summer love promises are to be said tonight...

It may have been so in times passed, now we will just try to forget the crisis and the growing crime. Eat and drink to better times coming...
