One of the most swedish traditions you will come across here in Majorca is the celebration of Santa Lucia. Every year on December 13 the students from the swedish school in Palma sings christmas songs in Placa Cort. The swedish church also attends and offer swedish treats such as Glögg (warm wine with spices) and ginger cookies. If you haven’t seen it before you should go there this year!

Today was a bank holiday here in Spain, it is the constitution day. This day has been celebrated since the Spanish people adopted the National Constitution on december 6th 1978. If you are interested to know more in detail go to wikipedia. Since everything is closed I will spend it visiting the christmas market in Pueblo español in Palma. I have learned it costs 4 euros to enter and that you will get a gluhwein, warm wine with some spices.
It was not long ago I first heard about the fabulous bread from fibonacci. A bakery in ciudad jardin that sounds nothing but italian but seem to have norwegian owners. After i heard about them i had to try and it was indeed really good bread they had to offer, along with all sorts of delicious pastries. A while later they opened a café in portixol and just a few weeks ago they also have a café in santa catalina in Palma. Well worth a visit if I may say!
