Harvesting Natural Cork is a popular feast celebrated in Llofriu woods, in Palafrugell, Costa Brava center, the saturday before St. John festivity. Cork was a main industry in this zone during the last centuries, because these woods are plenty of cork oaks. From Llofriu center people go to the woods to see the men cutting the bark, and then having lunch together. Afterwards, in the center village, we'll see the craftsmen working this material to create wine corks and other objects.

Christmas Living Crib is one of the most deep traditions rooted on the Costa Brava on these dates. Among several villages who organize it there is a very famous one, that of Pals, that for over a quarter century brings together more than 300 neighbors to recreate more than 50 biblical scenes (and not only the stable of Bethlehem, with her baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the Three Kings).
