Fruity Christmas Special

from The Making of Madrid Hosted by Felicity Hughes ⏐ Lonely Planet writer and tour guide

In this fruity festive issue, I reveal all about the history of the madroño or strawberry tree and explain why it's part of Madrid's iconography. I also delve into why Spanish people eat 12 grapes at New Year along with the bongs from the clock in Sol.
