Barcelona Christmas Markets
The busiest time of the year has passed for Barcelona, however it does not take away from the great winter activities this city still has to offer during the festive season. Everyone loves their Christmas markets, and there are two famous markets that take place by the landmark monuments of the city, La Fira de Santa Llúcia and Fira Nadal de Sagrada Familia.
The most popular market is La Fira de Santa Llúcia which takes place in front of the Barcelona Cathedral, located downtown in the Gothic quarter. Being organized since 1786, this 238-year-old tradition continues every year from November 29th to December 23rd. With over 200 stalls, it is one of the most extensive fairs selling strictly Christmas items. Definitely a must see for Christmas lovers.
Around the same time, Fira Nadal de Sagrada Familia also takes place right in front of the most famous church in Barcelona. You can have a great view of Gaudi’s amazing architecture as you walk around shopping for your favorite items. Operating since 1962, it is another market you can be sure to see every year here.
