Some the best Spanish high street brands are located in the Espai shopping mall at Salt near Girona and just now it's a great time to visit for your Christmas shopping. There are 2 floors of shopping with stores such as Zara, H&M, Levi, Springfield and also one of the old favourites which ceased trading years ago in the UK and that is C&A! - they were always known for their good quality and reasonable prices.
One of the strangest Christmas customs in the Catalan region is the Caga Tio (poo log!) this is a small log with legs wearing a typical styled Catalan hat. Children take care of him by feeding him well and keeping him warm upto Christmas Eve to ensure that his belly is nice and full, so he will 'poo out' lots of goodies and treats for them at Christmas.
