... because of the Fira de Santa Llúcia...

...has been held in the Avenue of the Cathedral since 1786.  A fair that sells 'Nativity Scenes and Christmas Traditions', which include many versions of the kooky 'cagatio', the smiling log under which the gifts of Christmas appear on Dia de Los Reyes, 6 January. A place to find the Christmas spirit.

UN BESO: more Christmas lights of Barcelona, X

... because Barcelona goes organic...

...and a little bit of New York comes to Barcelona.  A restaurant, with a DJ on Sundays, organic groceries and an extensive menu of delicious ecológico food made at different stations throughout the place.  Fun and healthy... even the wine is organic (although I am not sure if that makes it healthy?!)
