You can see it in the landscape, the music, the mentality and all of them have an own language. <br />In Galicia there's the tradition of jumping above a little bonfire, too. I wrote my thesis about this special night with all its rituals, but I chose the short version for the post :-) ... And I have to visit Brittany some day... it must be beautiful!yencamadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04159839056378918554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568297467862663893.post-54524395155866006562011-06-23T23:56:38.558-07:002011-06-23T23:56:38.558-07:00Now I have learnt something new :) - I have heard ...Now I have learnt something new :) - I have heard about Galicia because of the music, there are groups participating in the Celtic Music Festival of Lorient in Brittany, France (every year). We have bonfires in France too of St John's night but we don't burn a dummy. I think in the past in rural areas couples would jump together above the fire to bring them luck or something.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786457605090337853noreply@blogger.com
