EspañolYes, Christmas is here. And the shopping list that usually it is close to the Thermomix (Yes it is even at home, what you want if its legitimate owner doesn’t claim for it? I don’t leave it lying in the street). Anew list has been added to the usual list, the Christmas list, this is its status today
First you can see with that letter I do not understand myself, that’s assuming the day in question, I don’t forget it at home. Which almost always happens. I think I’ll put in the mobile.
Yes Christmas is here and it shows everywhere in Garden Arenas, in El Corte Ingles and in Barcelona streets.
But this year I’ve noticed very well on this blog. Lasts weeks I’ve registered visits to entries like “Nougat Cake” “nougat cookies” the famous “Catalan Christmas Soup ” and also those equally famous “Christmas Tree Barcelona”. You remember them?. Here, in Barcelona nobody has been able to forget. How can we forget such beauty. How do you forget so much Christmas symbolism?. How do you forget which cost 210,000 euros these wonders.
This year, a crisis year, the council has decided that something had to do to in order to encourage consumer, sorry, in order to fill the streets of holiday cheer. And so, this year, a year of crisis, our council has invested 900,000 euros, the other one million and hundred thousand euros were merchants contribution to fill light our streets.
But what happened with the trees?
“sustainable” firs than a year ago received a strong criticism will be not led in a warehouse. Two trees are lit by a dynamo pedal they found a location that seems more appropriate: the “Salon de la infancia“. The other four, equipped with solar panels, will be distributed. Two will be outside the headquarters’s district of Nou Barris (Plaza Major) and Les Corts (square Comas). The other two, in the square Bonanova (Sarrià-Sant Gervasi) and Can Fabra (Sant Andreu). Another novelty is the use of bicing as mobile support for the Christmas campaign. 6,000 rental bicycles in the urban system will incorporate into its mudguard bike a distinctive reference to Christmas. In addition, each day a window at the city Hall will be illuminated with a pattern of costumario Catalan. La Vanguardia 9/12/2009.
But this year the “star” of Christmas in Barcelona is the galet.
Tourists may have some problems finding the meaning, but the truth is that they have grace, but they have a problem. The galet, when it has these dimensions, is a perfect container for deposit in cans, snuff packets , paper and syringe as the one I found when I took this photo at the Rambla del Raval the past 2nd December
In short we are already at Christmas.

Hay que ver! Cuanta luminaria! Aqui en Lanzarote entre la excusa infalible de la crisis a la que apelan los ayuntamientos y un sol que raja las piedras, que a 10 de diciembre seguimos padeciemdo desde julio,
nos enteramos que la navidad anda cerca gracias a los supermercados que ofrecen turrones y polvorones, si no de que!
