What a match again... After the art of football we saw in the first half, the second was a bit less but what can we say... 3-0 as final result is not bad.
Come on "campions"!

Happy Newyear!
Feliz año nuevo!!!
The general tradition at New Year’s in Barcelona, and in the rest of Spain, is to have dinner with family and friends. When the clock reaches midnight, everyone eat 12 grapes and a toast with Cava or Champagne.
The tradition of eating 12 grapes stands for the luck it brings for all the months of the new year. One grape,one month of luck.
We wish you all the best for 2010!

Feria de Santa Lucía
Visit Barcelona in December? If you want to see something of Spanish culture, there's nowhere better than the Feria de Santa Lucía, a temporary market set up in front of and around the cathedral, selling Christmas trees and figures for the belén, the crib, as well as countless ideas for Christmas presents.
The cagatió is a log, with a face painted on it, wearing a barretina, the red hat of traditional peasant costume. On Christmas Day, it's hidden under a blanket and the kids beat it with a stick, whilst singing the songs of the ‘Christmas log’ or ‘Tió de Nadal’. The tradition has some similarity to the hanging out of Christmas stockings in anticipation of gifts.
There are many more traditions in Spain. One of them is the mistletoe (muérdago) and a ponsetia in the house - but they have to be given to you as a present.
Furthermore you have the making of the crib - something which they are busy doing and displaying in schools at this time of year. And in homes, the kids like to have a big one so that they can move the kings slowly closer and closer to the Baby Jesus, to arrive on January 6th - bringing the presents; as in Spain it's traditionally the kings (the Reyes Magos), not Father Christmas (or Papa Noel), that bring them.
The Feria de Santa Lucía will take place from the 1st of December till Christmas Eve and can be found outside the Cathedral, in Plaça de la Seu and Plaça Nova. (nearest Metro: Jaume I).
If you still look for accommodation I suggest visiting www.enjoy-barcelona.com. They offer great apartments.
Merry Christmas!!

Daytrip Montserrat for a wonderfull day!
The Barcelona weather forecast for this weekend is great (just as last weekend) and the autumn is a wonderful time to get out of the city and go visit some of the lovely Catalan countryside.
One possibility for a day-trip is to the spectacular Benedictine monastery at Montserrat, founded in the 11th century, which is about 60km away.
For cyclists, it's about 10.5 km to the Category 1 top; for the less energetic, take the Ferrocarrils (FGC) train from Plaza de España to Monistrol de Montserrat, and from there the 20-minute cremallera rack-railway ride to Montserrat.
Don't miss the Sant Joan funicular, which takes you right to the mountain top (1236m), in which case you'd do best to get yourself a Transmontserrat ticket, which includes all the different trains, including the Barcelona Metro.
On Carrer Pelai, just off the Plaza Catalunya, you have the FGC shop, for full information and tickets, as well as the possibility of reserving accommodation, if you want to make a weekend of it.
Besides that, there are a lot of fun trips you can attempt to enjoy your stay in Barcelona!
