Catalonia in a nutshell

donkeys, dancing eggs and logs that poop sweets

Smedley, Claire
Santana, Eva (1972- )

Just why are the Catalans so obsessed with poop? And have you seen how carried away they get with pyrotechnics? As Catalans, they probably haven't given these things a second thought. It's not until someone begins to question them that they realize that placing a man pooping next to the baby Jesus in the nativity scene is perhaps not that common, nor is having a donkey as a national symbol. This book's roots lie in the laughs shared between a Scot and a Catalan who one day decided to try and paint a picture of the Catalan people. What are they really like? Where do some of their customs and habits come from? Cat's tongues? Two and a half to five? Programmes about mushrooms on prime time tele? Warning -prepare to be entertained!
