Monster Windmills and other Adventures. Season of Lights: Christmas in Madrid. I am fully aware I do not celebrate Christmas, yet a part of me can’t help but squeal over the Christmas lights and decorations just like those who open presents under the tree on December 25. It’s even harder not to get into the holiday spirit when Madrid celebrates Christmas like this:. Christmas Market in Plaza Mayor. And you can walk under the Christmas Tree in Puerto de Sol and see this:. Inside the Christmas Tree.

Monster Windmills and other Adventures. My piece of heaven: a weekend in San Sebastian. Looking down on Mount Urgull from Mount Igueldo. We walked to the edge of the city to The Wind Comb, which are three sculptures created by Eduardo Chillida and Luis Peña Ganchegui that represent the unity of the sea, wind, iron and rock in one space. According to Genchegui, the sculpture signifies both the beginning and end of the city before it empties into the sea. Starfish in the San Sebastian Aquarium. Nov 29, 2011.
