At Christmas, it's a Barcelona tradition to stroll round the Santa Llúcia market, which first set up its stalls in front of the Cathedral in 1786. Some go just to soak up the atmosphere. Others take the family to buy a tree, decorations, figures for the Nativity and everything else you could need to celebrate the season, from the traditional to the most modern. This year the market celebrates its 233rd anniversary, looking just as beautiful as ever, and you'll find nearly 300 stalls with traditional Christmas items and handmade toys. You'll also find a range of activities for all ages, such as the Giant Tió (pooping log) and a parade.
