My dearest,

Just a line to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hope to see you again in 2007 and then you'll have the chance to try some of the German stuff you see in the trolley.

I wish you all the best,
Anna.

Fira de Santa Llúcia

As our German friends have said, in Germany there are some interesting Christmas markets where you can buy Christmas stuff. Well, you should know that in Barcelona there's a famous market called Fira de Santa Llúcia where you can get Christmas trees, small statues for pessebre, ... In this photo you can see some of the stalls that you can see in this market. There is also another famous market, which is smaller than Santa Llúcia, in front of La Sagrada Família.

Here you can see some photos of Fira de Santa Llúcia:

Here you can see the "sopa de galets".
It's a soup taht you make with galets.






It's the meat that you put to make

with meat inside and a cream that is called
"bechamel". Finally, you put grated cheese
and put in the oven.







Have a nice meal!

These are some "Tiós", they are made of wood and wear a hat and their faces are painted. Children hit them with a stick while they are singing a typical song.

>> Caga Tió, avellanes i turró.

No caguis arengades que són massa salades.

Caga turrons, que son més bons! <<

Then the Tió shits some presents for the children.

This is a man called "Caganer", because he is...

It's the funny statue of our Pessebre.

nEw YeArS EvE (Nochevieja)

Hi guys!! We're going to talk about the New Year's Eve,

the last night of the year here called "Nochevieja".

Here we celebrate 2 typical things: eating 12 grapes at

midnight and wearing red underwear.

On 31st of December at midnight, in the year's last seconds

when the bells are sounding people begin to eat twelve grapes.

One for each second. In our opinion this gives good luck.

Another traditional thing is wearing red underwear.

It's better that at the end of the night you'll burnt it.

This also gives good luck to begin the new year with hopes!

That's all. Now, it's your time to explain us what do you

do at New Year's Eve.

Kisses ^^

Desireé and Sandra Martin
