Christmas in Europe, does it have to snow? Although Britain, Germany, Northern Europe and other places can see exquisite and beautiful white Christmas, the citizens of Barcelona have to say no, like the southern and eastern coasts of Spain, it is a typical Mediterranean climate, not to mention Christmas, even the coldest months of January and February also rarely see snowfall.

As a result, people who live in Barcelona all year round usually haven't seen snowflakes in 10 years. If you want to spend a snowy Christmas day in Barcelona, the hope is very slim.

Still, the occasional accident happens. For example, Christmas in 1495, unlike the previous year, was an unusual occurrence of snow at Christmas in Barcelona.

The sky was grey and snowflakes were scattered in the old Gothic Quarter, which surprised the citizens of Barcelona on the streets. Of course, the weather is also terrifying. A Londoner cannot understand the situation.

Of course, Barcelona is located on the warm Mediterranean coast of southern Europe, and although it snows, it is impossible to cover it in snow, with only scattered white marks constantly appearing on the sides of the ancient city walls. The ancient city wall of the 8th century has undergone more than 700 years of vicissitudes and witnessed the rule of the Peace Religion and the emancipation of Christians. It has not been carefully restored by later generations, but it is more vivid than the cultural relics of the 21st century, after all, it has not been destroyed by several wars in the past 500 years.

Inside the ancient city wall, there is no tree-lined avenue, and outside the ancient city wall, there are no thousands of purple and red flowers. The alleys crisscrossed the old town and creeped around, and there was no roar of the machines of the steam mills in the suburbs, only the smoke of cooking in the countryside.

The people who come and go, their looks, and their clothes all have the characteristics of that era at the end of the Middle Ages.

It reminds every pseudo-time-traveler who may "wake up" that the dawn of modern times has not yet illuminated the earth.

In the future, there will be a Sagrada Familia reflecting the glory of God, and a Boqueria market where the world's ingredients will be gathered. Now, however, there is nothing but the lonely Barcelona Cathedral and the ordinary wet markets on the streets.

Of course, the best places to visit Christmas are your own home and church, but there are also some people who like to explore His Majesty's "mysterious seals" in various places in the city.

Well, since Barcelona was the richest and most populous city in the Kingdom of Aragon, the east wind of the Renaissance also drove the affluent burgher class to pursue happiness and enjoyment. In this regard, which is the strongest board duck catering, looking for the king in the streets and alleys.

His Majesty's most direct connection with the Spanish people is probably the "Spanish Catering", and the hotels, hotels, and restaurants of the Spanish catering companies have spread all the way through the thorns and thorns in Spain.

While not everyone is talking about Extremadura's ham and Andalusian jamba, or the cheaper rooms, or the waitress there, many people know that this is the king's shop. Moreover, the quality of service is good, the cost performance is high, it is also very convenient to spy on intelligence, and the quality of spies is also relatively good...... Well, no one would want to know the last two points.

Some of the most popular shops in the old town, all of which are affiliated with Spanish restaurants, tend to be hidden in the depths of the streets, but always attract a large number of customers.

Recently, these restaurants have been particularly famous for a new type of drink: coffee!

Coffee beans are the product of His Majesty's close attention to the situation in the world. This future famous plant can be obtained from the Ottoman Empire, from Ethiopia of Christianity (Greek Orthodoxy), and Tunisia is now trained by Aragon, so through the Berber world, coffee appeared in Western Europe three quarters of a century earlier, of course, for some time in the future it will only be limited to Spain, and other countries will not be in a position.

As a result, coffee quickly gained a loyal following. Of course, due to the high price, it was mainly the aristocracy and wealthy townspeople. Still, a few stores can create a "coffee street" that is popular with coffee lovers.

A rare snowy Christmas stops the city's sunshine, and a drink made with fresh milk and ground coffee is a great thing to enjoy on a cold and wet day.

"Yes......" In a restaurant called La Pallaresa, a "nobleman" dressed in a more modest way is sipping coffee. "I feel the taste of 500 years later."

Ferdinand didn't come to eradicate the evil and serve a private visit or something, he just liked to run around, and the original owner also had hobbies in this area, so the scar on the original owner's neck and syphilis gave him a profound lesson.

Ferdinand didn't have the same hobby as his original owner, so it was nice to try the special doughnut cake churros he had invented in advance in his shop, and to swallow the elongated strips of frosting in the paper cone into his stomach.

The tropical chocolate beans delivered from Panama allowed Ferdinand to be ahead of his time in a hot chocolate soft drink and to look at the world around him.

"This is the world on the morning of December 25, 1495."

Ferdinand looked out at the street through the glass window, remembering that in 2004, there was also a snow in the center of Barcelona, but unfortunately it was only half an hour, and it melted quickly.

And it wasn't at Christmas.

Now, the snow has been falling for about an hour, but it is also melting quickly, and the snow is non-existent, and there is no possibility of building a snowman for the bear child.

A world at the end of the 15th century. Ferdinand was in the middle of it with a sense of mission and responsibility, watching the people and the country at the end of the Middle Ages, inside and outside the shop, like two worlds spanning centuries.

Ferdinand wanted to pull them along. He's getting success. Ferdinand belonged to the 21st century, or in the 20th century he would have a sense of belonging, in short, this era is too far behind his heart. However, the two sides are getting closer.

The people of Sardinia eat the food of the eighteenth century, wear the fabrics of the eighteenth century, do the work of the eighteenth century, use the weapons of the eighteenth century, and carry out the institutions of the eighteenth century.

Ferdinand, on a remote island in Europe, had turned the clock of fate of 130,000 people back three hundred years.

The lunch break is particularly long, but His Majesty is obviously not turned away by Niederhogg's agents, and occasionally His Majesty will brush up with them with Desert Rain Frogs and the like. Find a little bit of a bygone era.

For a while, it felt like a dream, Ferdinand had read similar novels, and half of his life of struggle ended in a dream, I don't know whether it was joy or sadness. His world is not a dream, but he often feels that way.

Perhaps, just like Wallace's words, the fate of 130,000 people, the future of 8 million people, and the direction of this world, in their own hands, are indeed like a dream.
