Fat Ballerinas

a giant piece of lit up pasta? in barcelona, even this doesn’t surprise me. but it did make me take a photo and go and look up the explanation…barcelona this year, along with new christmas decorations and lights on the major shopping streets, have installed sculpture pieces representing the holidays. pasta? not my first choice, but ok. well traditional catalan christmas lunch is a soup called ‘escudella de galets’. the galet is the pasta. apparently there will be other sculptures: turkeys, chickens, bottles of cava and roscones (traditional biscuits) which will be distributed around the city. i can’t wait to see them all dressed up in their electric holiday glow…
