La Siesta is an old Catalan Farmhouse dating back to the 17th century which was originally called "Mas de Dalt". It is built of stones from the surrounding areas which gives the exterior a spectacular appearance.

Upon arrival you will be served appetizers and sangria in the outdoor garden. Once inside, enjoy the typical supper consisting on salad, grilled meat served with wine and soft drinks.

The main room is a dinning room which holds 850 people and was built in the same style as the farm house. Its original decoration in wood and stone gives it a warm friendly atmosphere.

As you admire the spectacular show "Spain Ole" enjoy dessert with sparkling wine. The dinner concludes with "Cremat Català", the typical drink of the Costa Brava's fishermen (hot rum with coffee beans and lemon peel).

Next you can enjoy the new show, which combines the best of the Spanish tradition with spectacular new tendencies and technology. The result is a beautiful show of great quality ideal for an unforgettable evening. Top off a fun night by joining in with the dancing to traditional Spanish music.

This trip will head inland to the mountains where hundreds of little red dots can be seen. These are red peasant hats on the heads of local villagers breakfasting in the open air. After putting on a hat of your own, join them around the camp fire. Blank gun shots ring out all around as locals, dressed in peasant costume, announce that the long awaited festival has finally arrived. Listen to the history of the festival from the mouth of a Catalan local as you warm your hands next to the camp fire.

Next to appear is a cart pulled by two mules coming to carry the pine tree, chopped down earlier that morning, back to the village square. It is an exciting moment as everybody pushes together to help load the tree onto the cart. At midday the atmosphere reaches fever pitch as a large shape moves slowly towards the people out of the smoke. It is the pine tree, carried by mule and cart, accompanied by musicians. Everybody goes slightly crazy in this emotional and strange moment and then suddenly there is silence, before something unexpected happens.

After the applauding has stopped, the tree carries on its journey to the town church. Over 100 villagers join together in a human chain to drag the tree inside. And as the villagers stand in the church waiting expectantly, the tree is hoisted high into the roof over the altar, decorated with stars and apples that hang down from the branches.

At the end of the event, what could be more appropriate than rounding off the day with a traditional Catalan meal?
