Christmas is coming

The year that is now com­ing to an end saw the most suc­cess­ful TV se­ries of the mo­ment in­vad­ing dif­fer­ent places in Cat­alo­nia. Game of Thrones spent sev­eral weeks film­ing in Girona and Canet de Mar, shoot­ing scenes for the next sea­son. How­ever, at this time of the year, we need to swap the fa­mous adage from the se­ries, “Win­ter is com­ing” to the more ap­pro­pri­ate “Christ­mas is com­ing”. It's al­ready easy to see the Christ­mas spirit all around; just take a walk down the main street of any town or city, any­where around the coun­try. As you can see in this photo from last year, the Christ­mas sea­son trans­forms La Ram­bla in Barcelona, with Christ­mas lights and small stands sell­ing dec­o­ra­tions and gifts. If you are plan­ning to spend your hol­i­days in Cat­alo­nia, don't for­get your tió, the mag­i­cal Christ­mas log that will poop you gifts and can­dies on Christ­mas Day. You can't say Christ­mas isn't spe­cial in Cat­alo­nia!
