Every week a reporter from the program travels to other cities around the world to see how people from Madrid live outside our country. Do you dare to come with us to meet people from Madrid around the world?
We slip into the typical American Christmas movie traveling to Chicago at the most beautiful time of the year.
Chicago, known as “the windy city” is the third largest in the United States and the place where the first skyscraper was built. In addition, it is bathed by the famous Lake Michigan, one of the five Great Lakes in North America with a size 7 times greater than the surface of the Community of Madrid.
In this destination we have visited the light show at the Lincoln Park Zoo and the Chicago Botanical Garden.
A festival that has become a tradition in Chicago to which crowds of family members come to see this Christmas show.
Illuminated trees, snowmen, candy canes… not a single detail is missing in this festival of light in which it is essential to wrap up warm, since the thermal sensation can be several degrees below zero.
Although if there is a Christmas tradition in the city it is to attend the official lighting of the Christmas lights, with its spectacular Christmas tree, fireworks and even a parade.
And do you want to know what it is like to live on the 66th floor of one of the most famous and tallest skyscrapers in Chicago?
The Hancock Tower has a multitude of offices distributed up to the 44th floor where the private area of the building begins, and it is precisely this floor that is the hall for residents where there is a supermarket, a heated pool and even a post office area where you can pick up your packages without having to go out on the street
What could not be missing in this special Christmas program is to give our letter to Santa Claus, who receives us directly from the North Pole.
