About
Barcelona's oldest Christmas market, running since 1786, features around 300 stalls selling nativity figures, Tió de Nadal logs, handmade decorations, and craft gifts across Avinguda de la Catedral. The Tió Gegant offers children a free interactive experience where they queue to "feed" the giant Christmas log and receive a small gift. Christmas Traditions Day (12 December) includes the Carassa de Nadal procession distributing sweets, children's theater, and performances by the Esbart Català de Dansaires kids' dance group.
