Live the Christmas Fairs 2024

Tiones, fir trees, nougat, waffles, decorative elements, original artisan gifts... you will find all this and much more at the Christmas fairs that are organized throughout the Catalan territory during the month of December and the first days of January. The Christmas fairs are one more traditional element that makes up the Christmas festivities in Catalonia, such as the little shepherds or the living nativity scenes.

The streets and squares of towns and cities are filled with charm with local food stalls where you will find everything you need for your Christmas meals. Do you need to decorate the house with the fir tree and the nativity scene? At Christmas fairs you will find that figure of the nativity scene that you are missing or the star to finish decorating the Christmas tree.

In addition, many of these fairs are complemented with activities to make the little ones enjoy with workshops and creative, musical activities, among others.
