Seeing things

IKEA's new catalogue?!

No, don't worry! Just the thrones waiting for the Kings' arrival. Though they don't officially arrive until Saturday night, they were passing through Sant Andreu this evening to collect children's letters.
It is tradition in Spain for kids to write letters to the Magi (the Three Wise Men, the Kings, depending on where you are) telling them what they would like to be given. The letters are usually collected by pages who deliver them to the Kings who in turn deliver the presents to the children on the night of the 5th of January.
Today, probably due to the economic situation in the country, the Kings were collecting the letters themselves - I expect the pages have been made redundant. It was rather cold and I had a train to catch so I didn't wait for them but shall no doubt see them on Saturday - can't miss them, it's almost as big as a Barça-Madrid match!
