Each country has its own Christmas traditions when it comes to foods, celebrations, gifts, activities, and more. In Spain, there are some rather unique festive traditions including Catalonia’s Tió de Nadal or Caga Tió (the, “Pooing Log,”), a small log painted with a face that is cared for by children throughout December before being beaten with sticks and pulling back the blanket over it to reveal a stash of small gifts and sweets on Christmas Eve or Day.
This somewhat odd but charming tradition is certainly one that those spending Christmas on vacation in Spain might enjoy engaging with but more people still might want to add to their luck of already being on holiday in Spain. Make it a Christmas to remember by getting away to a villa in Spain and then join locals by entering the Christmas lotto – maybe you’ll even get to extend the vacation!
