First I'm going to pass Christmas Eve with my father´s family. Is awesome because they were living in Canarias and now they are here, in SEVILLE! Then I will go to Badajoz with my mother's family. All of them are lovely but I'm eager to see my cousin Ignacio. In Badajoz I'm going to buy around  2 kilos of ''polvorones''!!! because there's a shop that makes the best ''polvorones'' of the world (trust me)... well is just my opinion. I came back to Seville to spend the New Year with my best friend and our families. It will be AMAZING!
