Ohla
This is what it is like to have a thousand eyes looking at you. The front and back facade of Ohla Hotel in Barcelona is the creation of surrealist Catalan designer Federic Amat. The building is cataloged as a historical neoclassical building. Once buildings are cataloged for historic preservation, the facade cannot be demolished. It's a five star hotel that will scent your bed linen with aromatic scents.

New Year's and Three Kings Left
I know what it is like to experience Holidays in America. You have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to look forward to before celebrating all over again on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day and then the entire Holiday Season is over. Not here in Spain.
Here's the list of festes you spend with family and friends:
desembre
24th Christmas Eve
25th Christmas Day
26th St. Stephan's Day
31st New Year's Eve
gener
New Year's Day
5th Eve of Three Kings
6th Three Kings
Continuing with the Holiday spirit, I thought I would photograph the Christmas Fair in front of the Barcelona Cathedral at night. To my surprise EVERY Christmas stand was gone! I couldn't believe it. I thought they would remain there until Three Kings Day. I was so misled by all the Christmas lights still hanging on nearly every street in Barcelona. What I found in front of the Cathedral were antique dealer stands. I was so disappointed, but decided to make the most of our drive into Barcelona by taking pictures of some of the stands.
Fins Ara!

New Year's Eve Underwear
Dear Noias and Nois,
If you want the next year to bring you Prosperity and Good Luck, you must wear a special undergarment underneath your fancy attire: red underwear for men, and red lingerie for women. Every family will be watching their favorite television channel as the New Year countdown begins from a clock tower at a main plaza somewhere in Spain. Pop one of twelve grapes in your mouth and chew it fast before the next chime and hopefully the red underwear and finishing the twelfth grape on the twelfth chime will bring you Prosperity. We have the leisure to wish for that and more as civilization did not perish as many people believed it would due to the Mayan calendar. FeliÇ Any 2013!
AbraÇades i patonets,
Noia from California
