Barcelona is blessed with lovely beaches that thousands crowd during the summer months, but the temperate winters make the city even more beautiful. The clear blue skies combined with the soft sea breeze give the city a unique charm that is ideal for exploring the magnificent historical sites and the World Heritage Sites in peace. There are no crowds to jostle with, and you can truly enjoy the art and the architecture of the city streets. When visiting Barcelona in winter, journey outside of your vacation villa rental<\/a> and take part in the following activities.<\/p>\n

Holiday markets<\/em><\/p>\n

With the setting in of winter, Barcelona is getting ready for Christmas. The Fira de Santa Lucia is the most famous Christmas market in the city and is the ideal place to pick up gifts and the festive food. Other Christmas markets pop up around the city including near Sagrada Familia, Pla\u00e7a Sant Jaume and in front of the Barcelona Cathedral.<\/p>\n

Festive events<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the oldest sporting traditions in Barcelona takes place on the 25h of December when teams gather and swim 200 meters to reach the statue of Christopher Columbus at the port. The New Year celebration occurs with a gathering in Pla\u00e7a Catalunya at midnight, and with every chime of the clock at midnight, locals eat one grape for good luck. January 6th is the Day of the Three Kings when parades and fireworks take place across the city.<\/p>\n

Benefits to visiting during winter<\/em><\/p>\n

Flights to Barcelona are much cheaper during the winter months, and with the temperature not being too harsh, you can enjoy the traditional tapas and the other cuisine on heated outdoor patios. Keep warm with a plate of churros and a cup of hot chocolate for dipping or sipping.<\/p>\n
