Thanksgiving is one of the most important celebrations in the United States and in Canada. It is the day in which people gather together and celebrate all the things they have to be thankful for, usually eating Turkey and pumpkin pie, among many other incredibly tasty and traditional dishes. It takes place on the fourth Thursday of November, which means that this year we will be celebrating it on the 22nd. But… what if you are far away from home? Don’t worry! We have put together the best Thanksgiving plans in 2018 so that if you are in Madrid, you get to celebrate in style, as you always do. Keep on reading!
