29 December 2024-5 Barcelona

It was April fools day in Spain on the 28 December so a little bit of information for you all.

April Fool’s Day isn’t a tradition in Spain, so we don’t celebrate it. But we have our special day for jokes and pranks, and it’s in the middle of the Christmas period: on 28th of December.

‘Día de los Santos Inocentes’

Nowadays, in Spain we celebrate this day by pranking each other, and making jokes (sometimes too risky). The classiest joke is to stick a paper in the shape of a child on people’s backs. When the victim realizes the joke or “Inocentada”, the jokers will scream: Innocent! which in Spanish is “¡Inocente!”.

Into town on a very busy bus today more people on the site for new year than Christmas. Town was lovely and empty just how I like it. Coffee then a walk down to the Sunday antique market at the bottom of the Rambler.

In the afternoon my usual cycle about looking for new things.
