Part 6/8:
The Coca itself has various interpretations, often shaped like the sun to symbolize the longest day of the year. Over time, the recipe has evolved, and today, coca is crafted in many forms, reflecting local traditions and bakeries. This evolution includes competitions among villages to create the longest coca, with celebratory events showcasing these elongated sweets.
After preparing the coca and letting it rise, the final touches include an egg wash and an arrangement of candied fruit and pine nuts before it goes into the oven for baking. The result is a treat that fills the air with a delightful aroma, reminiscent of summer celebrations, making it a beloved addition to the Feast of Sant Joan.
