As tradition dictates, you should prepare for the shortest night of the year. Here are some ideas to enjoy this magical night in Barcelona with children:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sant Joan in El Raval.<\/strong> In El Raval, a lot of activities will be organized starting at 7 PM. A parade will begin from Sant Jaume Street and end at Rambla del Raval and there will be a havanera singing at Rambla del Raval, and at 10 PM, there will be a meal followed by music by a DJ starting at 11 PM.<\/p>\n
