Nice!  :)

They finally lit the tree :)

A Christmas tree here too.

well the black curtains and steps are gone today so whatever was happening there was a one day thing only.

I was going to suggest this ... http://www.spain.info/en/que-quieres/agenda/eventos/huesca/pirineos_sur_festival_internacional_de_las_culturas.html  ... but that's in July, so it would be a bit early for this here.

I wonder what they have going on here. They've added steps, curtains and fabric coverings to a couple of the balconies. The place that they added the steps was level with the street so they must have a platform behind the curtain--maybe putting on a play ?

LOL somebody's car alarm must be going off, the car lights keep on going on and off !

I forgot to say thank you for the link. Nice to see the surrounding area. In future, when I see people coming from the left, I'll be wondering if they have been to the post office!

Dark cradle, how lovely for you to live there. Not too, too far from Barcelona, a lovely area. I was in Barcelona one New Year and we had to put our wedding rings into a glass of wine at midnight. I was told it was a New Year custom. I wasn't sure if it was a joke but I did it anyway.

I wish you a prosperous New Year.

a flag of Catalunya in Madrid? it needs a lot of courage to do that!

Es una calle colonial muy bonita.
