The month of December has already arrived and with it the pleasures of Christmas, celebration, reunion both with family and friends that you have not seen for months. We already feel the spirit of Christmas in the streets, the desire to get together, to do activities, to see our loved ones and why not, to communicate with the typical nostalgia that comes with the approach of these dates.

In Barcelona, ​​Christmas is happening in cold and short days, where dusk and night appear very early and fill the streets with darkness …
Well, not that dark, all the streets are full of colors, lights, music, smells and activities to do.
If you were waiting for Christmas to stay at home and rest, do what you want but Christmas must be loved and appreciated. We give you a series of ideas to spend your Christmas in Barcelona.

Christmas markets
This is the best way to get in the Christmas mood. For this, the best thing to do is to go for a walk and go shopping in the different Christmas markets of the city. The most famous are: Fira de Santa Llúcia (it can be found every year in Plaza de la Catedral). Fira de la Sagrada Família (as the name suggests is right next to the Sagrada Família). Fira de los Reyes Magos (all children already know where to see all the toys they will ask the 3 Kings)

Workshops
At this time, children are living in a fantasy and are filled with adrenaline. They are always excited and eager to do things. A place where dreams come true for every little one in the house. www.laciutatdelssomnis.com. Montjuic is full of activities, workshops, classes, sports, colors, fantasy and entertainment, so kids never stop playing and having fun.

Cultural Routes
Even if you live in Barcelona, ​​you may not have had the time to know the whole city, or you simply could not spend a day learning about the history of Barcelona. For this reason, on these dates you will have more free time, you can accompany your family to a guided free Barcelona walking tour. We recommend you to visit the old town with four great professionals such as Matthias, Jana, Claudia and Chryssi.

Now, yes, in December, many emotions await you, worthy of an impressive Christmas and we wish you to spend every day before and after Christmas with the same enthusiasm as when you were a child.
