Christmas In Barcelona - Traditional and illuminating
The festive season throughout Spain is a time for family gatherings and socialising and a Christmas in Barcelona for most locals is one of age old traditions and a quiet day relaxing at home. Although many attractions and shops will be closed during Christmas Day, the city itself is well used to the influx of tourists during Yuletide and bars, restaurants and some points of interest can all be enjoyed as usual. A typical Christmas in Barcelona will see a city full of activity and energy right up until Christmas Eve with beautifully arranged street illuminations, traditional choral concerts in most of the city's churches and striking nativity scenes adorning many public spaces.
