La Mercé 08

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Hi everyone :)

It has been a while since I last wrote in this blog. I have really missed it and here I am again with some “party recipes” for you all…

As many of you probably know the 24th September is the day of ‘La Mercé’, it’s a local holiday and the school will be closed too. But you won’t get bored all this weekend and all next week ;)

Since the Virgin of La Mercè was declared the patron saint of the city by the Pope of Vatican; Barcelona began to celebrate a festival in the month of September. The reason seems to be the end of the summer… let’s say, a reason to party… you know at the end of May there are lots of Festivals because of the beginning of the summer and now because of the end of the summer…

Excuses to party, something that Spanish people are good in, so why not join and enjoy with them? ;) (more…)
