Christmas time in Spain

Christmas time in Spain

Have you ever wondered how do people spend Christmas in other countries?

In Spain, there is a traditional calendar of holidays, similar to that in Poland, so they also celebrate the Navidad, or Christmas Day. However, it is a completely different festival than the one celebrated in our country. First of all, there's much more joy and public celebrations on the streets. Just two days before Christmas Eve, there is a great Christmas lottery, during which large sums of money are drawn. Most Spaniards try to buy a lot so that they do not miss their opportunity.

People in Spain also recognize the Christmas tree as a Christmas symbol, but they use other symbols more often. A tree is rarely appearing in people's houses. There are also no Christmas gifts, as it is in the Polish tradition. Children receive their gifts only on the Epiphany, Los Reyes Magos, which is a few days after the New Year. Christmas ends with a parade on that day. Would you like to receive gifts only after the New Year?

Do you think that the tradition of giving gifts on 24th of december, like in Poland, is better?

Do you enjoy this magical Christmas time?

Wine from Spain

Wine from Spain Have you ever noticed the name and the origin of the wine you drink? Did you know, that Spain is famous for wine production? Spain is the second oldest wine producing country in the Mediterranean area. Spain produces modern wines, such as fruit or grape, both of very high quality. The Spanish wines have a potential of aging and a combination of character and diversity that allows them to conquer the world market. The most famous wine is, without a doubt, Rioja . This red and dry wine can come as young wine with fruit flavor (Tinto Joven) or as exquisite wine (Gran Reserva).
