We left the house at just after eight to walk down to the Plaza de la Concordia. As we walked down Calle Llana, festive songs were playing from the wall mounted speakers in the street adding to the atmosphere.
Quite a few shops were still open. Traditionally, tonight is when a lot of spanish families sit down together for a festive meal, which perhaps explained why the town was quiet and quite deserted.
At the Plaza de la Concordia, we had hoped to see a display of Christmas lights but sadly we were a little disappointed.
Last year, the Centro de Adultos, where we attend our spanish language classes, was draped in a cascade of lights but this year....... nada (nothing). Perhaps it's the credit crunch !!.
So we headed back up to Bar Pepe Rayas where we were shortly joined by our friends Ray and Geraldine, Elma, Russ and Eileen.
Spontaneous entertainment was provided by Miguel on guitar, ably playing a varied selection of flamenco and well known hits from the past.
We left at just before midnight with Miguel still taking requests.
