Happy New Year! (14 days too late) but better late than never. We took a break but based on the events this weekend, it seems like we picked the right time to be back. This weekend is packed. A lot of indoor activities to stay away from the rain. We have the Tchaikovsky National Ballet in town. The 43 Festival de Teatro with a lot of plays, concerts as always, including a Queen Tribute concert, kids plays and Unicaja plays on Sunday. Enjoy the weekend!
