We started off our holiday celebrations at Iglesia de San Juan el Real for a Christmas mass and a little holiday concert. The church is absolutely breathtaking! It was built between 1912 and 1915, and it was where Francisco Franco was married in 1923. We didn't know many of the Spanish Christmas Carols or for that matter understand mass, but nonetheless it was a nice evening spent in a 100 year old church.
Ahhhh, plus going to an Argentine Parrilla was a bonus!
The food at the restaurant was delicious (better than in Buenos Aires actually!) and we loved the English menu...especially the "attacked of pilgrim's scallops!" Ha! Gotta love lost in translation writing abroad!
