I visited Barcelona over the weekend. I really loved the city. I got to see all the big sites, have some really good food, and meet some really great people. And there were these giant pasta shells around the city. I didn't get a great photo of them, but I snapped this one.
The pasta, called galets, were there because of a traditional Catalan soup with this type of pasta which is served around Christmas. There's also a tradition of kids beating a Christmas log with a stick to get their presents. I only half-understood that custom as it was explained to me in Spanish and broken English.
