Linqia´s first christmas!

Edwina and Fredi were nominated as our Chief Christmas Officers. One day they surprised us with a wonderfully decorated Christmas office and our corporate Christmas tree – with a star as topping of course!



In the evening, we started off with Cava and traditional Spanish pastries, like Turron, Neulas, Barquillos and the absolutely delicious Turron de Crema Catalana!

Fredi showed us a neat trick about eating habits of Neulas. Being stuffed full with sweets, we went for a walk to the restaurant. We strolled down the illuminated streets of Passeig de Gracia and Barrio Gothico admiring the fantastic array of Christmas lights. Fredi, our local fellow, took us on a few detours leading us to Barcelona´s secret places you wouldn´t normally see: la "Tortuga de Barcelona", la "Fuente del l`ou com balla" and "Placa de San Felipe Neri" next to the charming boutique hotel Neri.

We ended in one of the cosiest restaurants Limbo in Raval. We shared stories about the craziest things we´ve done in our lifes – the leaders definitely are Christian, Christopher and Fredi. Maria was not bad either! Edwina and I are still trying to remember if we´ve ever done anything crazy like these guys;-) We´ll keep that secret! The evening ended with a homemade dice playing for our Kris Kringle presents – also known as Jul Klub (no-one ever knows how this is spelled) or Wichteln!

The Linqia Team wishes a very Merry Christmas to all of you!
