Barcelona's Old Town Christmas Market 🎄

#christmas2023 No winter trip to Europe in December is complete without making a beeline for the Christmas Markets. In Barcelona, Spain, Fira de Santa Llúcia (Saint Lucy Christmas Market) is the city's biggest Christmas market where both locals and tourists flock to from end November to end December. Situated in the city's stunning old town just in front of the imposing Barcelona Cathedral, the Fira de Santa Llúcia has been a yearly spectacle since 1786! It features dozens of stalls and attractions that liven up the atmosphere: artisanal craftsmen of all sorts of products, colorful decoration items and Christmas trees, delicious Christmas snacks, mulled wine and hot chocolate, and no shortage of giant Christmas trees for a quick photo opportunity! I suggest setting aside about a whole hour to fully soak in the experience at this market, and to try the different snacks and drinks on sale - all traditional! Don't forget to also make friends with the warm locals who will proudly share more about the history behind the market, and of Barcelona itself. This is an enriching experience that one shouldn't miss when in the beautiful city of Barcelona! It's also right in the old town, so be prepared for a full day of adventures!
