Dating back to 1786, the Fira de Santa Llúcia spreads out before Barcelona Cathedral with rows of stalls selling trees, decorations and Catalan traditions like caganers and Tió de Nadal.
The setting in the Gothic Quarter is wonderful for photos and easy to combine with nearby shopping streets. Expect choirs, family activities and a daily buzz that peaks at weekends. With a focus on festive décor and nativity accessories, it’s the place Barcelonins come to kit out their homes for the season. Come by metro to Jaume I or Catalunya and stroll over under the sparkling lights.
