Menorca celebrates San Joan with a festivity which has been practiced since the 13th century. Horses are roaming the streets and competing in games with riders representing the different strata of medeival society: Nobility, Clergy, Artisans, etc. In the picture, crowds surround the horses as they parade around the city of Cuitadella. Everybody attempts to get close to touch the horses and look into a mirror placed on the horses head that is supposed to grant a wish to the viewer. Here you can see pictures of San Joan Festivities around the world.
