From 28 November to 23 December, the 300 stalls that make up the Fira de Santa Llúcia are open. You can buy everything from typical Christmas decorations to craft items that can be turned into a very original gift.
This other Christmas is held from 14 December to 6 January in several sections of the Gran Vía. Held for the first time in 1877, it has a great toy tradition and can be the ideal place to finish the letter to the Three Kings. Without a doubt, a children's paradise.
With a privileged location, next to Antonio Gaudí's Sagrada Familia , the Christmas Fair has become an icon of the festivities. It is famous for its traditional stalls of Christmas trees and festive plants such as mistletoe, holly and poinsettias, and has many other stalls selling Christmas decorations, lights, nativity scenes and much more!
