Holiday traditions

Around here you can tell a big holiday is coming when Loteria de Catalunya has a big advertising campaign.

Big sign in the grocery store.

Free bookmarks at the checkout counter.

This is just a portion of the advertising at the train station on the walls

- all the walls, and also on the stairs and along the halls.

The tickets are sold alongside the roses.

According to the lottery site:
