New year’s Eve is a great night because a year finishes and another begins. We have 12 grapes when the clock strikes twelve

The day after Christmas we celebrate ‘Sant Esteve’, a day of peace and rest. This day we eat ‘canalons’ done with the chicken that we ate on Christmas Day. ‘Sant Esteve’ is not as important as Christmas Day but we also eat all together with our families.

On January 6th, people, mainly children, open their presents and have a good meal. For desserts, we have a special cake called “el Tortell de Reixos”. Inside the cake, there are a figure of a king, it means you win the crown, and a dried bean, which means you pay for the cake.

Christmas Day is a day to be with your family. We prepare great meals to fill our bellies and have a good day. For lunch we usually have soup (“Sopa de de Nadal” or “Sopa de Galets”), chicken, and very good desserts.

Els Reis On 5th January we celebrate the “Three Wise Men” day, “Els Reixos” in Catalan. There is a big parade with the three kings, the camels and their page boys. That night children get more presents.
