Holidays in Tres Cantos

We had a most wonderful time with our kids in Miami. The weather held out, we had time to sit and talk and eat and play games. Couldn’t have asked for better.

Hoping that all my Jewish friends enjoyed a wonderful Hannukah!

As far as I have seen, Hannukah is not a thing in Tres Cantos, so I will share with you some Christmas decorations and lights near our home. The nice thing is that we live near a wide avenue that they’ve decorated nicely. Here’s the tree:

And this is the Christmas tree lit up at night

This little store is about a minute walk from my home and I pass it every day. I love how they take the time to set up nice store front displays and change them frequently.

El Desvan, a lovely boutique close to home

And this picture below is the entrance to my favorite restaurant here, called Bernar. Their food is always great, and they have very friendly servers. The neighbors above them went to town with holiday decorations, which is definitely not the norm around here. There is a city-wide contest this coming Friday for best dressed windows/patio and I think they are a shoo-in to win.

Bernar, our favorite restaurant, has outdoor seating protected by plastic walls that lower, like blinds, on chilly days.

The wide avenue near my home has white lights strung in all the trees and some big decorations including some nativity scenes and lighted presents.

I tried to capture the magic in a video, but I’m not very good at this and it didn’t come out as pretty as it looks in person.
Happy Holidays from Tres Cantos!
