They have Christmas in Spain?

Wow!

Do they have Saturday, too?

Even when they don't have Christmas they have a large cross that can be seen miles out to sea and is lit up at night. It was put there to commemorate the end of Muslim rule in 1489 and was built on the spot where they both landed in Spain 750 years earlier and sailed away. We can see it from our terrace.
