Coming On Christmas-Menorca, Spain on TwitterTravellers
Feliz Navidad! As they say in Menorca. This year I will miss the Menorcan Christmas. I guess it is the same as Christmas celebrated throughout the rest of Spain. All I know is that it is much different than Christmas UK. Not necessarily better (though I think so) just different. Very uncommercialised, though that is changing slowly. It is probably like Christmas used to be in the UK 50 years ago. Very family orientated, lots of small celebrations, families getting together, church gatherings and choirs, Christmas markets in the central plazas. Not the big TV events and specials, not the booze fest, not houses looking like Blackpool illuminations, not the Santa images everywhere and musak pop and carols blaring in every store. Not the toy buying blitz - in fact the kids all look forward to the Three Kings Festival on Jan 6, that's much more like Christmas UK. They are everywhere - TV shop windows, school pantos.
