Hola Emma Sorry to have missed you in September, perhaps in December. Christmas and New Year (Nochebuena y Nochevieja) are very family orientated here: everybody gets together for a family meal. Public transport stops in Cadiz at 9pm on these nights. The younger people, having fulfilled their family obligations, often go to a disco or a friend´s house afterwards. There are also organised parties (cotillon) where you can arrive at 1am until breakfast. These can cost 50 euros the entrada. If you and your friends have accommodation, you might be able to organise your own. Most of the fun is in the runup to navidad: flamenco gives way to villancicos. Toma Castaña presents its Christmas record in Teatro Falla on 2 December and average about 5 performances a day until Christmas:there will be 4 or 5 good villancicos groups in Cadiz. Not really the best time to come, but you can make the most of it, especially if the weather is good. un abrazo Sean
