Christmas in Spain with Fran and Jorge

Spain is a country with many cultural differences - even its Christmas traditions differ from one region to another. Join Jorge Roman of Traveling with Jorge and Francisco Glaria of Traveling Steps as they discuss Christmas in Spain.


Fran Glaria was born and raised in Pamplona, part of the Basque country in northern Spain. His passions for history, art and food, led him to tour guiding. Over 20 years ago, he started a small local guiding company in his hometown. This company evolved into designing tours in the Basque region, and also into organizing tours for the Running of the Bulls festival in Pamplona. In 2012 Fran joined the Rick Steves’ Europe team and discovered a great way of teaching about his culture. You can follow Fran and Traveling Steps on Facebook and Instagram.
