Out with the old, in with the new

In this issue we look back at the year that is about to end. With­out doubt, 2017 has been an in­tense, un­pre­dictable and tur­bu­lent year, and a cru­cial one in the coun­try’s his­tory. Our main fea­ture of­fers a month-by-month pick of the most mem­o­rable events this year in pol­i­tics, cul­ture, busi­ness, so­ci­ety and sport, both lo­cally and in­ter­na­tion­ally.

Say­ing farewell to one year means wel­com­ing a new one, and next month we’ll have a sur­prise for you. In Jan­u­ary, we’ll show off a new de­sign for the mag­a­zine, with new sec­tions and more con­tent. As we work to im­prove, we’ll keep you in­formed of what you can look for­ward to.

Mean­while, the hol­i­day sea­son is al­most here. While Christ­mas val­ues often get lost amid all the con­sumerism, it is good to take a mo­ment to re­mem­ber that among what makes the hol­i­day im­por­tant are loved ones and tra­di­tions. Both are key in­gre­di­ents of a tra­di­tional Christ­mas din­ner, and we have a com­par­i­son of the Christ­mas Day ex­pe­ri­ence in Cat­alo­nia and in the UK. Why not let us know how you cel­e­brate Christ­mas!

For now, we wish all our read­ers the very best Christ­mas, and we’ll see you in the New Year. Enjoy your hol­i­days!
