Things to do on the Catalan coast

ORGANIZERS: The competition will be organized by the Badminton Club Platja d’Aro and the FECAB, with the collaboration of the Catalan Sports Council and the Platja d’Aro City Council.

PLACE AND DATE OF CELEBRATION: It will be held on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 June 2026, at the PALAU D’ESPORTS I CONGRESSOS in Platja d’Aro (Pl. Europa s/n, 17249 Platja d’Aro).

Since ancient times, we welcome the summer solstice with celebrations of fire. We light bonfires the shortest night of the year in honour of the sun and to ward off evil spirits, and it is common to get rid of old furniture and unwanted items as a symbol of life renovation and purification. Saint John's Eve is a magical night where the city dresses in its best to celebrate the official beginning of summer, with fireworks, sparklers and dancing until sunrise.

We already have the Santa Market here in Santa Cristina de Aro, a fair with many stops and activities such as music, live concerts, gastronomy, activities for children and families, experiences with animals and many more where you can enjoy these summer nights in the Holy Market.

Open from 6:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. EVERY DAY!!!

Do not miss the Festival and then come to our hotel in S'Agaró-Sant Feliul!

The Festival International de la Porta Ferrada, the oldest of Catalonia, was born in 1958 at the Monastery of Sant Feliu de Guíxols and it’s name was originated in the oldest part of this monumental set. Located between most outstanding of the summer panorama, it offers a program of quality directed to an extensive and heterogenous public. Its interdisciplinary character –music, theater and dance- makes this high level, guaranteed by artists of recognized prestige.
