MINI TRIP IN MADRID

In the last December, my dad decided to did something different the day after Christmas. So, we decided to went to Madrid some days.

On 26th December, we took the car at seven o'clock and we went to the big city of Spain. We arrived there approximately at one o'clock and first, we went to install our things. After that, we went to have lunch and we walked to the Royal Palace for met with my uncles and my cousin. When we were together we walked to the Sant Miguel Market a typical place where the people eat tapas. Then, we went to visited the typical places that some of it are "Puerta del Sol" and "Plaza Mayor". In the evening my family and I went to search a typical restaurant to dinner. We were very tired, so we decided to went to the hotel.

TRADICION IN CATALONIA

In these days of Christmas we spend all time with the family and the people that matter for us. 

In a lot of countries, in the Christmas day there is Santa Claus that he distribute presents for all the families in the world. But, here in Catalonia there isn't any Santa Claus, we have "el tió” that consist in hit the trunk with a stick singing a song about it. When the song finish, all the children go to the kitchen or another room apart of the place where is the “tió” and they sing the song or they pray. After the trunk shit the presents, the children, run for lift the blanket and open the presents. And this things are made many times that the “tió” shit.

The “caga tió” is doing at night on 24th of december.  In my family, we go to my uncles house. First, we do the dinner, after, we shit the “tió” and when this finish, we have the dinner. 

I think that this is a special day where we spend a nice time with our family. 

Days before, the children give food to the "Tió"
