Would you like to visit it? In Estate One we love Madrid, but we are also very fond of discovering new and different places and above all, <strong>those which leave a lasting impression <\/strong>upon us. <strong>Christmas<\/strong> is one of our favourite times of the year. Some time ago, in this blog, we wrote about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/original-christmas-decoration\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">how to decorate your home at Christmas in order to make it look original as well as cosy<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>We also <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/christmas-market\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">took a walk along the market in<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Plaza Mayor<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/01-rovaniemi-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rovaniemi: a Christmas trip\" width=\"650\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/01-rovaniemi-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.estateone.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/01-rovaniemi-1-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, this year we decided to go farther away and look for an even greater <strong>Christmas scene in all its splendour<\/strong>. There is not <strong>a place in the world that can convey a deeper Christmas feeling than Rovaniemi in Finland<\/strong>. In Rovaniemi you can enjoy an awesome <strong>winter landscape<\/strong> as well as a visit to the official residence of Father Christmas&#8230; and you may even be able to talk to him! This is why today, we suggest that you put on warm clothes, a pair of gloves, a scarf and suitable boots as we are going to invite you into the very heart of Christmas which is in this Finnish village.

However, <strong>this village went through dark and difficult years some decades ago<\/strong>. In the Second World War, <strong>Rovaniemi was nearly wiped out<\/strong> to such an extent that at the beginning of the 50\u00b4s it had to be rebuilt practically from the ground up. In 1950, the wife of the North American president, Franklin Roosevelt, travelled all the way to this city in Lapland in order to supervise the reconstruction work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Picture\u00a001:<\/strong>\u00a0Viergerry<\/p>\n<p><strong>Picture\u00a002:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/viaggioroutard\/\" target=\"_blank\">Viaggio Routard<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Picture\u00a003:<\/strong>\u00a0Ulla<\/p>\n<p><strong>Picture\u00a004:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/timo_w2s\/\" target=\"_blank\">Timo Newton-Syms<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Picture\u00a005:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/kimandcyril\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cyril Doussin<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Picture\u00a006:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/eg65\/\" target=\"_blank\">Elena Giglia<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Picture\u00a007:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lindstorm\/\" target=\"_blank\">Antti Lindstr\u00f6m<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you wish to go on a Christmas trip, you must go to Rovaniemi which is Father Christmas\u00b4s home village.
