Barcelona is the best holiday destination and offers a wide range of activities for all ages and tastes. From the brand new ice rink installed in Plaza Catalunya to the traditional fair Gran Via, through exhibitions, workshops and sports competitions.
Here are some of the proposals Barcelona Urbany offers you:
On Saturday, December 24, the Magic Mountain of Barcelona, Tibidabo, will host the traditional 'Peace Song', within the Amusement Park. Year after year, the traditional 'Song of Piece' is celebrated in the Fairground of the Tibidabo since 1996. It is an act of solidarity that aims to promote education in values such as tolerance and respect through music. This year's nativity scene on Plaça de Sant Jaume takes its inspiration from Catalan culture and traditional art, with a copy of a Romanesque chapel in ruins and a typically Mediterranean landscape.
One year on and the classic scenes of the annunciation, the Three Kings of the Orient and the birth of Jesus are once again the highlights of the nativity scene, though this year's settings take their inspiration from the landscapes, figures and architecture of Catalonia's deep-rooted Romanesque tradition. During their walk round this truly Catalan nativity scene, visitors will be accompanied by Mediterranean sounds such as the sea and bells ringing. If you haven't yet taken the opportunity to see it, we strongly recommend you treat yourselves to a visit any time from 10 to 8.30 pm, every day from now until 8 January!
Many of the activities on offer have a Christmas flavour, which is hardly surprising when you consider the date.
You will be able to see a Pastorets nativity play at the Fundació Miró, hear choral music at the European Museum of Modern Art and make Christmas candles at Poble Espanyol.

It's really easy to spend a backpackers day in Barcelona, discovering original places that have opted for new formulas imported from around the world, as long as you keep your eyes open. Some neighbourhoods are historically more alternative than others, but if you delve a little deeper you can always discover fresher, more daring and original ideas.
Today, Barcelona Hostel suggest an alternative route: Raval is a neighbourhood which has many different faces, depending on the street you are in, making it stand out from the others because of its multidisciplinary character, with lots of alternative and original ideas imported from around the world.
Start your visit strolling round here with a visit to the art bookshop Ras. Here you will find books on architecture, photography, the cinema and all kinds of art. A wide selection of art and fashion magazines along with other designer items completes what they have to offer. Around Raval there are many alternative art galleries, most of them small, supporting the work of illustrators and street artists. One of these is Distrito Quinto, where people like Sosaku, Uiu, and Lolo, among many others, have shown their work. If you find yourself walking along Joaquim Costa, it is worth taking a slight detour to check out their latest exhibition.
One of the most popular markets is the well-known Boqueria market. La Boqueria market is a festival of colours, flavours, aromas and life you will not find anywhere else in the world, a real show you just have to see. It is an attractive, picturesque showcase for Barcelona and Catalan gastronomy, with local produce and exotic items from around the world.
A walk round Raval is inconceivable without a stop at Plaça del Macba Barcelona's Contemporary Art Museum, where skateboarders from all over the world gather every evening to swap techniques.
Raval is full of interesting shops but Carrer de la Riera Baixa is a good place for finding second-hand items in good condition. One of the best shops on this street is Le Swing, with vintage clothes that many trendsetters use for their magazines. And finally, when night draws in, you can savour the designer tapas at Resolís a little bar-restaurant which preserves some original features that characterised this neck of the woods in the fifties. |
