There may well be 48 days left for Christmas and the
Christmas lights have not yet been placed.
However, this is no valid reason For Blands Travel to not start
promoting our Christmas products. This
year is different… we are feeling that spirit tingling around the atmosphere..
We have not yet played those Christmas carols in the office but we have
certainly been hours on the pin board trying to see where we can take our
clients this festive season.
If you enjoy the magic of Christmas markets and especially
the smell of those charcoaled sausages slowly cooked on German style barbecues…
then join us. Last year the team
travelled up to Granada to visit the Christmas market there, may I say the
pictures and tales are impressive.
Obviously the markets are not the proper Christmas markets you will see
in Dusseldorf, Germany. However, Spain’s
Christmas markets are a must see, it really gets you excited for Christmas.
Christmas Shopping Trips
Christmas, as you will know delivers plenty of presents; the
other side to this is empty wallets. If
you still haven’t bought your Christmas presents this year, Blands Travel will
take you to two major shopping centres in the peninsula, Area Sur in Jerez and
Larios shopping centre . If you fancy
arranging a trip with friends or colleagues to shop till you drop, then just
let us know. We will take you there and
back in one piece but with plenty of shopping bags.
Trip to Umbrete
This trip to Umbrete in Seville has been designed so that
you can gather a group of friends or even colleagues and get on a bus get your
quality Spanish ham, eat well, drink and get back on the bus. Jamones Pichilin offers the greatest cuts of
ham, I personally buy my “pata negra” from them for the last three years and I
must say that I still haven’t tried one better.
On the trip you will also have the chance to have lunch at El Rufino… popular
with Gibraltarians who travel upto Portugal this restaurant offers the best
Huevos revueltos ( egg, chips and ham diced to make it the best flavour to
tackle your taste buds).
Antequera
Who doesn't like Polvorones in the Christmas season, if it’s
not your nan it’s your mother who lays them on the Christmas table, you can’t
just resist one! Well come and join us
on our tour to Antequera, you will be able to tour the actual factories of la
Perla, In time for buying a bunch and then having some well-deserved
lunch. This trip is to be enjoyed by
all, I must say I really enjoyed planning this day out as I always had the
local community in mind as I know how much they love their polvorones come this
time of year.
Just comment on the blog or let us know through our facebook
page whether you would like to join us on any of our trips this Christmas.
Keep posted for our next blog on Hints and tips when
travelling to Gibraltar!
