How to decorate the table for summer celebrations
These tips will come in handy for the magical night of San Juan or any celebration on a terrace , in a garden , on a balcony or indoors. The key is to create a cheerful , refreshing atmosphere.
Decoration
Seasonal flowers and fresh fruit: cherries , grapes , white and yellow daisies , and wildflowers. They bring colour , light and a festive summer feel.
Cutlery and presentation
If you use one , choose a linen tablecloth in neutral pastel tones. Forget serving trays and opt for wooden boards that enhance the colour of the jamón and embutidos and let them take centre stage.
Lighting
Lanterns and candles once it gets dark. The magical touch for a night that has just begun: they create a relaxed , intimate atmosphere that makes you want to stay.

How to include jamón on the table for summer celebrations
El jamón ibérico is an essential part of every celebration. Unique in the world , it can only be made from cerdo ibérico , a breed raised exclusively on the Iberian Peninsula whose distinctive genetic traits make it unique and ideal for creating a true culinary delicacy.
This uniqueness makes it the star of our tables at celebrations such as San Juan , Christmas , anniversaries , weddings and reunions with friends. Discover the role of jamón ibérico at celebrations.
