garant44 on Nov 30, 2011 Este mercadillo se monta en las calles del centro desde primeros de diciembre hasta el final de las fiestas. Se montan cientos de puestecitos que venden desde objetos de decoración navideños, luces, muñequitos, bisutería para regalar, dulces típicos como almendras garrapiñadas, frutas cubiertas de chocolate, algodón dulce... También hay puestos para comer y beber. En estas fechas tan frías los alemanes beben una bebida muy típica: Glühwein, que no es otra cosa que vino caliente con especias. Aunque los más "frioleros" le añaden alguna bebida más fuerte, como ron, amaretto, coñac etc.. Y también hay versión para niños en forma de ponches sin alcohol.

garant44 on Nov 30, 2011 Each year in the Advent season Stuttgart's visitors from all over the world will find a fascinating, sparkling Christmas city. Its main attraction is the Stuttgart Christmas Market, set in the heart of town against the breathtaking backdrop of the Old Palace. With its more than 280 delightfully decorated stalls the Stuttgart Christmas Market is not only one of the oldest, but certainly also one of the largest and loveliest Christmas markets in the whole of Europe. Its festive illuminations, the wonderful scents of cinnamon and vanilla, the wooden chalets, richly adorned with angels, conifer branches and Christmas ornaments, not to mention the "Wintertraum" winter wonderland on Palace Square, create a nostalgic Christmas ambience which enthralls millions of visitors each year. In the Renaissance inner courtyard of the Old Palace, daily concerts of Christmas music put guests from far and near in the right spirit for the contemplative Advent season. All around the Old Palace, on Schiller Square and the marketplace, the stallholders in their decorated wooden huts have an overwhelming range of Christmas items and gifts on sale, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays. There's no shortage of culinary delights, either, and it's hard to choose between roasted chestnuts, gingerbread, candied almonds, Swabian specialties, fried sausages and mulled wine.
