Pan Dulces & Mince Pies (Manolo Galliano with Photos and Illustrations by Victor Hermida)
A Llanito Celebration of Christmas Traditions & Memories
The spirit of Christmas transcends time and space and is celebrated in most countries around the world in different ways, but always with a view to bringing love, hope and joy to people of all ages and conditions. But how do we celebrate the festive season in Gibraltar? What traditional customs and rituals inheritated from past generations do we still follow and enjoy?
This book endeavours to bring these traditions and customs to the fore and recognise them as intrinsic parts of our heritage. The reader is invited to pause and reflect on what makes the Gibraltarian whilst also documenting the manner in which Christmas has been celebrated in times past and also passing that knowledge on to the current generation.
This book includes an appendix of llanito villancicos, songs, carols and Christmas recipes which characterize our special way of celebrating Christmas.
