Saint Lawrence's Night

Fireworks on the night of shooting stars
A special day in the middle of summer.
Everyone waits for the evening with the hope of catching the flight of a shooting star.
It is the most romantic time of the year.
With a bit of luck, even the sea in love lights up and under the starry sky, offers that special, magical shimmer in the waves.
It is the time to make a wish and let it soon become reality!
Looking forward to the 2025 programme

DID YOU KNOW THAT...
On St Lawrence's Day, one bath is worth seven
Here's what tradition says
On this day, a bath in the sea is a must because tradition has it that on St Laurence's Day, a bath is worth seven.
Not only that, it is said to have therapeutic powers and help prevent winter ailments.
That is why in the past it was customary to come to the sea on 10 August with the whole family and even bring along some farm animals, to allow them a propitiatory bath.
