If you decide to come to Barcelona these next holidays don't forget to go to the traditional market in front of the cathedral, in the gothic quarter. Once there, you'll se a little stand where many different shitting men are sold...Just check their website (www.caganer.com) and you'll have fun...Obama, Hillary Clinton or even the soccer player Messi have been turned into shitting men... Bon Nadal per a tothom!!! (Merry Xmas to everybody!!!)
