Christmas in Barcelona!

The Christmas holidays are a good time to visit Barcelona, especially since it's one of the cities in Europe with the best weather. Even though nights may be quite cold (usually never below 5ºC), sunny days will give you a chance to visit the city without having to freeze your cheeks!

As happens in many other cities, Barcelona fills itself with Christmas lights, and the main tourist points offer a wonderful environment. Restaurants are usually crowded these days but a quick call to make a reservation will keep you safe! As for night life and clubs, Christmas holidays are a great moment to enjoy great parties, especially since many locals go out during these days.

Barcelona has a lot to offer all-time, but definitely Christmas holidays are one of the best moments to visit, especially if you're coming from a northern city and want to enjoy some mild weather, great cuisine, and great nights out!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year!!!
