- December, until Christmas Eve. The Christmas lights are lit at the beginning of the month, and it is a joy to walk around the shopping streets and the Old Town in the evening. Join the locals in the every-year discussion about the appropriateness (or lack of) of their contemporary designs against the traditional ones. And don’t forget to check out the Christmas market in front of the Cathedral.
- First week of January, until the 5th (included). Your kids will have so much fun watching the toys fair in Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes. In Spain children are given their presents by the Three Wise Men, who arrive on the night of the 5th of January. Parents desperate to find their kids favorite toy will have time until past midnight to find it in this fair. And you can also find decoration items and other presents for those that are not kids anymore.
- Carnival. February, the dates may vary might vary depending on the Catholic calendar. Although it is not easy to find now carnival celebrations open to everybody, in most markets the sellers do dress up to cheer up their customers. You can also have a walk around the Ciutadella Park on the Sunday of Carnival (many children will come dressed up as well) or have a wild night in the town of Sitges during their Carnival Parades.
