Monapart recommends · DIR EMOTIONS Magazine · December 2011

This December in the section Monapart recommended by the Dir Emotions magazine published by Dir Clubs, you'll find tips on what to do, where to go, what to listen to this Christmas in Barcelona… And useful recommendations for those of you selling, renting or looking for a home.

Let's talk about music, a lot of it. Traditional music Christmas Concert a L'Auditori the coming afternoon of 20 December, which this year is celebrating its 10th edition. And The Wow Factor, a quadricycle and two tandems with a group of artists, musicians and actors who will surprise you as they stroll during these festivities through the commercial hubs of Barcelona, an initiative by the Barcelona Commerce Foundation. And across all 10 districts, there are also plenty of’musical performances for the little ones (check the Barcelona City Council schedule).

and we talk about our traditions, like the man with as many noses as days in the year, the Catalan mythological character about a gentleman who has as many noses as there are days left in the year. He can only be seen, however, on the 31st of December. Therefore… you will only see one nose on him. [At 12 noon in Pla de Palau]

And to finish, we propose a brilliant idea for wrapping gifts ecologically this festive season, bringing together two traditions: ours provides the tool, the classic bundle handkerchief, and the Japanese tradition provides the technique, the furoshiki, with which you'll be able to wrap almost everything. 

I last, but not least, our playlist monthly, so that you can enjoy what has been our office soundtrack all month.
