A massive morning swim took place on the Miracle beach in Tarragona to bid farewell to the year, as we see in La Vanguardia's Readers' Photos.
Despite the low temperature, the influx of bathers was very large, what was once four cats now attracts many bathers willing to defy the winter with this dip in the Mediterranean Sea.
In this new edition of the Bany de Sant Silvestre (and there are already 38) more than 500 Tarragona residents have participated, who wanted to say goodbye to the year 2023 in this way.
The Associació de Veïns del Port is the one who organizes this fun festive activity that has tested the endurance capacity of each of the participants when it comes to staying in the water.
Once back on the sand of the beach, the brave men and women were able to regain their temperature and warm up with a hot broth. In addition, they received the commemorative t-shirt of their feat.
