I know the store, Keyks, on the outskirts of Madrid has a good stock of cake decorating supplies. They also have an online store. http://keyks.es/index.php/horario-y-direccion http://www.tartasdecoradas.es Also, a fellow blogger, La Tortuga Viajera lives in Madrid and may have some good suggestions for you. http://www.latortugaviajera.com Best wishes and enjoy your trip to Madrid.

Thanks Lauren! No fire-breathing dragons running the streets of Madrid? Living in Catalunya - it is always hard for me to distinguish which traditions/customs are Catalan and which are Spanish. I guess the Correfoc is totally Catalan. Thanks for posting a comment. Off to check your blog and add it to my RSS. Saludos!

Definitely with a blog titled My Spanish Adventure, you must include a correfoc on your to do list. The festa majors of most Catalan towns include a correfoc. Good luck and keep me posted. Just added your site to my RSS.

Hi Sean! I am so glad you got to experience the Correfoc. Whenever I have visitors planning trips, I first look to see if there are any correfocs around town. It is such an unbelievable event!

Thanks Christy! Nice to *meet* you! The fanalet tradition for els tres reis is really interesting. I haven't seen anything like that around here. Although, my kids go to a waldorf school and they celebrate Sant Marti with a fanalet walk and bonfire. I have a book called Otono and it was a picture of families walking with lanterns. I think the book is originally German. I posted about it here (picture has the name in German, I think). http://www.orangepolkadot.com/my_weblog/2009/10/lovely-libros-autumn-books.html Have you seen the book - it is great.
