		<description><![CDATA[Villancico The Spanish word for Christmas carol has its origin in the old Castilian word villano, meaning ‘villager’ – as opposed to noble or squire. During the 15th and 16th centuries the villancico was a jolly sort of song-and-dance knees up for country folk, and it was only in the following centuries that the songs [...]]]></description>

Last year, you may recall, I got my act together enough to write a post about the caganer, and very popular and well-received it was. For newbies, or those too lazy to click on the old post to refresh their memories, the caganer is one [...]]]></description>

Here, December is about as productive as August, when the whole of Spain grinds to a halt. You simply cannot expect to buy a house, get a new kitchen put [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, so it&#8217;s January 7 and you really need to give the liver a break from tipples of any kind for at least a few days. However, yesterday was a holiday, today it&#8217;s if it was one, and the weekend began a shot of anis and a rosco de vino ago.  So, one last licor [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Crema de orujo might not have the beautiful people-filled TV commercials, but it&#8217;s every bit as delicious as the latest fancy Baileys creation. Made from post-squashed-to-death grapes, orujo or aguardiente is the most shudderingly-blow-your-mouth-off spirit on the planet, with a 50 % alcohol content (that&#8217;s 100º proof!). Tamed with cream, coffee, cocoa and caramel, though, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why should you swap steady old JB or Ballentines for a brand with such a smirk-inducing name? Well, it&#8217;s more economical for starters – about a third of the price in the supermarket, and possibly a Euro or two cheaper for a copa in a bar. And if you&#8217;re going to do like the Spanish in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Also spelt with a t and an x, pacharán is a Designation of Origin product of the Autonomous Community of Navarra. To its detractors, the deep raspberry- coloured &#8216;syrup&#8217; looks, smells and tastes like cough medicine, to its fans, it&#8217;s candy for grown-ups in a glass. The first thing that hits you is the aniseed, [...]]]></description>

These sweet nuts, rich in oils and oleic acid, come from the evergreen holm oak and have been used since forever to make a truly delicious post-dinner tipple. Home to the best jamón ibérico, Extremadura is also home to the [...]]]></description>
