Pretty much all colours with shades in between. There were a lot of these trees around Lisbon and porto. They don’t look so exciting in the day, but are wonderful at night. And some are set so you can walk inside.
Yes, they seem popular in Spain and Portugal. We still go for the real ones – but did you see the state of the Trafalgar Square tree this year? – rather battered. Though I haven’t seen it in person.

You and me both! I so wish we had not returned – it has been lovely to see family, but if we were back in Portugal could be doing so much more

Lovely! We have a similar style of tree here in Tavira, but not the scope for reflections.

No. Storm damage? If I’m lucky I’ll get a glimpse at New Year but plans here for NYD are a bit sketchy. Walking, and lunching, of course 🎅🌲🥂💗
