Santa Llucia Christmas Fair,
Barcelona, Spain 1st to 24th December In December right up to Christmas Eve Barcelona holds its Flea Market, the Fira de Santa Llucia, in the little square in front of the Cathedral. This provides a good sample of Catalan festive life and a place to stock up on Christmas decorations and trinkets. Quite unmissable are the "cagneres", little figures, sometimes in Santa garb, who are crouched with bottom bared preparing to relieve themselves. Often used in nativity scenes, they have something to do with fertility. The stalls sell handicrafts, gifts and turron, a sweet nougat that is traditional in Spain at Christmas. The 28 December is a local equivalent of April Fool's Day when musicians, artists and entertainers descend on the streets Plaza de la Seu Centre of Barcelona in front of cathedral Ajuntament de Barcelona Placa Sant Jaume 2 Barcelona Catalunya 08002 Spain Tel +34 93 402 7000 Email bi@mail.bcn.es Website www.bcn.es Back |
