TOP THINGS TO DO IN BARCELONA AT CHRISTMAS

🎄 Visit the Fira de Santa Llúcia and discover the Caga Tió, Barcelona's most emblematic Christmas market, in the shadow of the Cathedral. With more than 200 stalls, you'll find nativity figures, handcrafted decorations and the traditional caga tions, fun magic logs that "poop" gifts for children.

💡 Watch the lights switch-on and stroll along Las Ramblas - At the end of November, Barcelona is illuminated with thousands of lights. Strolling along Passeig de Gràcia or Las Ramblas is a classic way to soak up the festive atmosphere and take some stunning photos.

🧑🎄 Discover the Fira de Nadal at the Sagrada Familia - A more local and family-oriented market in the shadow of one of the city's icons. Combine shopping for handcrafted gifts with magnificent views of the illuminated basilica.

⛸️ Ice skating and visiting Christmas fairs - Every year, skating rinks and festive spaces such as the Nadal al Port (at the Moll de la Fusta) are set up to mark Yuletide with lights, food trucks, attractions and children's activities.

🍫 Try typical sweets and hot chocolate with churros - In December, the chocolate shops of the Gothic and Born quarters come alive. As you stroll through the city soaking up the Christmas atmosphere, pause for hot chocolate with churros, some delicious turrón (nougat) and neules (typical Catalan wafers).

🎭 Attend Christmas concerts and shows - The Palau de la Música and the Liceu offer special concerts and ballets such as The Nutcracker. You'll also find plenty of family activities and theatre in different parts of the city.
