Galets soup: It is one of the traditional dishes of Christmas in Catalonia. Just as Christmas is not customary to dine in abundance, the soup of galets is typical on Christmas day. The galets can be filled with minced meat or if not, the "pilota" is made with the soup, which is a large meatballs made with meat, egg, breadcrumbs, etc.
Canelones de San Esteban: in Catalonia it is typical to eat cannelloni on the day of San Esteban or San Esteve, in Catalan, which are made with leftovers from the Christmas day food. San Esteban is a holiday in Catalonia since the Middle Ages and is currently celebrated in Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and the Czech Republic.
Neules: These crunchy sweets are older than nougat and although their appearance is similar to that of wafers, their texture and taste are slightly different.
Christmas is the time of year to share moments with family and friends, a time of reunions and love, and in which the best gift is to create beautiful and special memories for a lifetime, that is why a balloon fllight is an incredible and positive experience that even the elderly can live with, and that will make all those who experience it smile.
