Today, The Grandma has been searching L'Home dels nassos, a mythological Catalan character who can only be seen on December 31.
L'Home dels nassos (Man of the noses) is a mythological character whose tradition is kept in Catalonia.
The legend says that this man has as many noses as the year has days, and loses one every day and can only be seen on December 31.
In this way, children of Catalonia are led to believe that there is a man with 365 noses, and they are asked to search him on last day of the year. Being the last day of the year, he has only one nose remaining, the rest have been already lost.

Folk tales and myths, they've lasted for a reason.
We tell them over and over
because we keep finding truths in them,
and we keep finding life in them.
