About Sagrada Familia Christmas Market

Sagrada Familia Christmas Market is the most recent addition to Barcelona's Christmas markets being held for the first time in the 1960's, in the Plaça de Gaudí park, in front of Sagrada Família.

you will find the traditional Christmas goods at this market:
1. Pesebres: Christmas nativity figurines and nativity models
2. Caga Tió: The Traditional Catalan pooing Christmas log
3. Caganer: is a figurine depicted in the act of defecation appearing in nativity scenes in Catalonia
4. Trees: Christmas trees and ornaments plus lights
5. Holly & Mistletoe: and other material such as straw for making wreaths
6. Cork Bark: is a Spanish traditional material used for making small Christmas shrines
7. Hand crafted: Christmas themed items and hanging decorations
8. Specialty food: Jams, honey, Turrón (Nutty sweet bars), Almonds and raisin cakes and more
9. Xurro: A fried batter sweet sprinkled with sugar and chocolate

This market is similar but smaller than the Santa Llúcia Christmas market held in front of Barcelona cathedral. I have explained the Catalan christmas traditions like Pesebres and Caga Tió on the Santa Llúcia page.
