Natalis, the magical worlds of Christmas at Poble Espanyol Barcelona
Organized by: Poble Espanyol Barcelona
From November 28th to January 4th, Natalis once again transforms Poble Espanyol into a Christmas universe filled with fantasy, light, and wonder. During this festive season, the iconic Montjuïc venue invites families to explore six magical worlds: Ilusionàrius, Elfland, Candyland, Magic Fun, Tradicionàrius, and Wishland.
An immersive journey where children and adults alike can interact with fantastical characters, participate in games and activities, enjoy shows, and discover the secrets of each world. At Wishland, children can also personally deliver their letters to Santa Claus (until December 24th) or the Three Wise Men (from December 26th to January 4th).
Six magical worlds to experience Christmas as a family
Each of Natalis' six worlds has its own unique setting, fantastic characters, and activities that invite families to discover and participate in its stories:
- Ilusionàrius: a forest of fir trees, reindeer and floating gifts where visitors will meet Natalis, the star who, with her magic, gave life to the six magical worlds.
- Elfland: the village of the elves, where Elva Bells and Tic-Tac prepare Santa's gifts among toys and magical houses, from where families can listen to what its inhabitants are plotting.
- Candyland: Natalis' sweetest world, filled with giant treats, where Lily Pops, the magical pastry chef, will reveal to visitors the secret recipe for the Christmas spirit.
- Magic Fun: Blizzi and Pocus, two apprentice magicians, will surprise young and old alike with magic tricks and participatory performances, in a space with free games for the whole family.
- Tradicionàrius: Danel, guardian of traditions, will invite families to discover how Christmas is celebrated around the world, with stories, interactive games and the Garden of the Tions.
- Wishland: the world of wishes, where children can prepare their letters, meet the most essential Christmas helpers and personally deliver them to Santa Claus or the Three Wise Men.
Beyond the six magical worlds, Natalis invites families to participate in a wide variety of free activities spread throughout the grounds. Visitors can test their wits with the "Enigma of the Lost Elf" scavenger hunt, which will take them through different worlds solving clues and overcoming challenges; discover the Garden of the Tions; participate in interactive games about Christmas traditions from around the world; and enjoy various games and children's activities. There will also be the Grinch Corner, the Wishing Well, and trees where children and adults alike can write and hang their Christmas wishes.
In the Greenhouse (Plaza Mayor), a program of magic, theater, comedy, and storytelling will be offered, with 7 different shows and more than 35 performances throughout the season. The experience is further enhanced by workshops led by artisans from Poble Espanyol, where families can discover the secrets of traditional crafts, create their own Christmas decorations, and take them home. These workshops have an additional cost and are not included in the general admission price.
