THE NEXT 6 WEEKS IN SPAIN...
December 6th - Día de la Constitución Constitution Day is a celebration of the day Spain became a democracy and 6 December has since been a national holiday in Spain. The day is seen as the start of the December holidays and a long 3 day holiday is sometimes taken in conjunction with the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
December 8th – This is the public holiday of Immaculada (Feast of the Immaculate Conception) which marks the beginning of the religious Christmas celebrations. Most notable in Seville.
21st December – In a few cities, including Granada, the celebration of Hogueras (bonfires) takes place. This date marks the winter solstice (shortest day) and where it is celebrated involves people jumping through fires to protect themselves against illness.
22nd December – All over Spain people never stray far from a TV or radio as the Christmas lottery is drawn over a period of many hours. Everybody in Spain buys tickets for this lottery in the hope of winning El Gordo (the fat one) and the winning number usually means that a good number of people from the same village become a lot better off overnight. Besides the big three prizes, there are thousands of smaller prizes shared by people all over Spain. You can buy Spanish Christmas lottery tickets online.
24th December – Christmas Eve is called Nochebuena in Spanish (Goodnight) and it is the most important family gathering of the year. In the evening, people often meet early for a few drinks with friends then return home to enjoy a meal with the family. Most bars and restaurants close in the evening. Prawn starters followed by roast lamb would be a typical meal rounded off with a typically Christmas sweet called turrón which is a nougat made of toasted sweet almonds. Another typical festive sweet is called Polvorones which is made from almonds, flour and sugar. Cava, Catalan champagne, would be the chosen drink for the Christmas toast though plenty fine Spanish wines will also be consumed with the meal.
25th December – Children may receive a small gift on Nochebuena or this morning but the day for presents is 6th January, Epiphany, when the Three Kings bring gifts for the children.
Christmas Day is a national holiday in Spain so shops are closed; yet it is not a day of great celebration, but rather a calm day when people go out for a walk, drop into a bar, etc. Another large family meal at lunchtime is common, though it’s becoming more common to see families eating out on the afternoon of Christmas day.
28th December – This is the day of Santos Inocentes (Holy Innocents) and is the equivalent of April Fools’ Day when people play practical jokes on one another. Often the national media will include a nonsense story in their broadcasts. In some villages youngsters light bonfires and one of them acts as the mayor who orders townspeople to carry out civic tasks such as sweeping the streets. Refusal to comply results in fines which are used to pay for the celebration.
31st December – New Year’s Eve is known as NocheVieja. It is a big celebration all over the country with street parties and special nights in hotels and clubs everywhere. Until midnight people tend to stay at home and on the stroke of midnight it is traditional to eat 12 grapes, one on each stroke of the clock to bring good luck for the new year. In Madrid and other main cities, revellers congregate in the main square (Puerta del Sol in Madrid) and eat the grapes along with a celebratory bottle of cava then head out into the night until after sunrise.
1st January – A low key public holiday with plenty people sleeping off their excesses.
5th January – There are processions all over Spain this evening where sweets are thrown from the floats to all the people who come out to watch. Every town has its own variation such as in the Sierra Nevada where the Three Kings (Wise Men) can be seen to ski down to the village.
6th January – This is the Feast of the Epiphany (Día de los Reyes Magos) when the Three Kings arrived in Bethlehem. For Spanish children, this is the most important day of the year when they wake up to find that Los Reyes Magos (the Three Kings/Wise Men) have left gifts for them in their house. Santa may leave them a token gift on December 25th but the Three Kings are their favourites, especially Baltasar who rides a donkey and is the one believed to leave the gifts. During the day of 6th, the Three Kings continue their good work and are seen distributing gifts to children in hospitals all over Spain.

At Sollo Restaurant, Diego Gallegos has created a sustainable gastronomic proposal based on river fish and vegetables from his own artisanal production, obtained thanks to the use of innovative systems that manage the natural resources of the area in a respectful and ecological way.

Diego Gallegos creates creative and unique cuisine , using unique, top-quality raw materials produced using aquaponics , which guarantees complete traceability of the product, from sowing and breeding to the plate. A concept of natural cuisine that prioritizes the variety of fresh foods from the Mediterranean diet , such as lettuce, tomato, pepper and eggplant; and freshwater fish, such as African catfish, tilapia, tench or pacu.
