The Bathing of the Goats

Here is a small slideshow from one of Tenerife's excellent photographers, "Snapjac" who took photos of the bonfires of Saint John's Night (Noche de San Juan) on the local beaches,

June 23 and the next day of the ceremonial once a year bathing of the goats.

Both are traditional here on the island, the bonfire night on the beaches being a sleepover event in tents and sleeping bags accompanied by music and celebration.

The bathing of the goats is also an old tradition, perhaps started by a need to have the animals cleaned up at least once a year.

I was unable to attend both events but give credit to Snapjac for his great photos.
