Thanks, tins, for confirming my theory and giving me another bit of colourful catholic folklore.

Do Spanish kids leave out their shoes over night, for their gifts?

I have heard somewhere that Italian kids get their pressies at Epiphany from the Good Witch Bafana (her name a corruption of Epiphania.)

Hope Barcelona is coming up to expectations.  I've never  been there.  Monserrat (as in Parsifal) is near by.  Hope it's warmer than here.

Sorry, Don, only just seen your post. Yes, Barcelona was nice but far too short. I barely had time to do anything once we'd got my friend's birthday dinner out of the way and seen a bit of the Three Kings stuff.

(Probably didn't help that I went clubbing and decided impromptu to get on a coach that was taking people from the club to an afterhours about 30 minutes outside Barcelona, which was in the coldest club I've ever been in and which I wanted to leave almost as soon as I got there, though it was still 9am before I got to bed. Cry)

It was quite lovely and warm, though - more so than I was expecting.

Yes.  She would be named after Our Lady of Montserrat.  And Pilar is for Our Lady of the Pillar, Carmen is Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Mercedes is Our Lady of Mercies, etc.  I think I missed a T from Montserrat.

Glad you had a nice time.  You really ought to wear more than just a T shirt...

(Though possibly at clubs one is expected to wear considerably less.  I woudln't know.)
